Deputy President Rigathi Gachangua has said the audit of the 2022 presidential election results should be dropped from the National Dialogue Committee agenda.
Speaking in Laare during a church service, the DP said the 2022 presidential election was audited by the Supreme Court, which declared William Ruto as the validly elected President.
“Discussing the 2022 presidential election should be dropped. Let them proceed with the other agenda. Let them talk about reconstituting IEBC, embedding the Office of Prime Cabinet Secretary and others,” he said.
Gachagua said there is no constitutional provision for auditing the election as the Supreme Court pronounced itself.
“On September 13, 2022, you were sworn in as the President. Why do they want us to talk about the elections,” he posed.
The committee is expected to recommend legal and policy reforms on issues affecting Kenyans in line with the Constitution and respecting the functional and institutional integrity of state organs.
Kenya Kwanza had named the reconstitution of the IEBC, implementation of two-thirds gender rule, the entrenchment of the CDF, the establishment of the Office of the Leader of the Opposition and embedding the Office of Prime Cabinet Secretary as the items for discussion.
Azimio, on the other hand, had named the cost of living, audit of the 2022 presidential election results and restructuring and reconstitution of the IEBC.
