President Uhuru Kenyatta has stated that he is still angry at the Supreme Court's decision to overturn his re-election since he fairly won.
Speaking during campaigns in Kajiado County on Tuesday, Mr Kenyatta stated that the Supreme Court ignored the will of the people to “please one man”, in reference to opposition leader Raila Odinga.
“I am angry because I was wronged. They wrongfully overturned my victory.
"We should tell the truth,” he said during a vote-hunt rally in Kiserian.
He reiterated that he "fairly" won the August 8 presidential poll by more 1.4 million votes.
Accompanied by Deputy President William Ruto and a host of Jubilee leaders, the president said nothing had changed as Kenyans would still vote for him.
"We won fair and square. We won by over 1.4 million votes, but the court decided to deny us our victory.
"We are more than ready for the fresh elections," said Mr Kenyatta.
The President further asserted that it would have been prudent for the court to order a recount of the votes, as the Sh10 Billion budget required for the repeat election would have been used for development.
"It would be easier, but they chose a free election. This is tantamount to denying rights to over 15 million voters who participated in the August's poll," said Mr Kenyatta.
He further accused Mr Odinga of using his criticism of Mr Maraga to incite the Kisii community against him and the Jubilee Party.
“Raila is simply inciting the Kisiis by misleading them that I'm blaming the CJ simply because he's a Kisii. I am just expressing my opinion,” he said.
“They should leave me alone. When he criticised Matiang’i (for deploying police to maintain order after poll), didn't he know he is a Kisii?”
