President William Ruto and Azimio leader Raila Odinga are sparring with each other over a plot to remove four IEBC commissioners. [File]President William Ruto and Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya leader Raila Odinga on Friday morning engaged in a salvo of new attacks over the plot to kick out four IEBC commissioners. President Ruto was the first to take to his official Twitter page, where he accused Odinga and his allies of attempting to save the IEBC commissioners, yet “they put Kenya in danger by subverting the democratic will of the people”. Four IEBC commissioners Juliana Cherera, Irene Masit, Justus Nyang’aya and Francis Wanderi are facing petitions in the National Assembly over their refusal to accept the presidential results declared by IEBC chairperson Wafula Chebukati on August 15, 2022. Ruto of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) won the August 9, 2022 presidential election after garnering 7.18 million votes (50.49 per cent) against Odinga’s 6.94 million votes (48.85 per cent).
