Former Roots party presidential running mate Justina Wamae has sent President-elect William Ruto a congratulatory message four days after IEBC declared him the victor

Wamae in her congratulatory message said it had taken her 4 days to listen to arguments from all quotas on whether IEBC was free, fair and transparent.

She said she could confidently say that the election was transparent because the polling station agents who were supreme in the election process would have raised an alarm if the Presiding officer was up to no good.

"The Returning Officer in the constituency level would have been alarmed and mark you the national tallying centre had no power in determining the outcome of the 2022 Presidential election," Wamae said on Friday.

"So when I see some parties like Roots Party who as a member can confidently say we were disorganized in regards to agents mobilization stating that votes were stolen is simply preposterous." 

Wamae posted the congratulatory message on her multiple social media platforms.

"As a future leader, we need to stop bashing our institutions which in turn will translate to inciting the public against constitutionally mandated institutions," Wamae stated.

"To our supporters, 61,969 is no mean feat, do not lose hope, what you did made a difference and building on itself will go into making a difference in future. H.E William Ruto and H.E Rigathi Gachagua are going to be our President and Deputy President respectively and I pray that our wonderful peaceful people of Kenya will accept the verdict.

"Congratulations H.E Ruto and H.E Rigathi on your victory. As the representative of the Kenyan youth, I will support in any way I can to achieve a financially secure Kenya that is dignified across the globe."
