22.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Uhuru Claimed Raila Won the 2022 Election
⌨
Morning coverage stayed with Ruto in New York, his talks with US Secretary Rubio on trade, critical minerals and AI, a cooperation pact with Austria, and anticipation of his UN General Assembly address.
By midday editors pivoted to former President Uhuru Kenyatta, who claimed Raila Odinga, not Ruto, won the 2022 presidential election and handed Jubilee leadership to Fred Matiang'i. The High Court separately upheld the national tallying centre as final and dismissed a challenge to its legality.
The remarks drew rebuttals from UDA, an echo from Moses Kuria that Raila won twice, and framing of the newly unveiled Ukombozi Alliance as a 2027 showdown, with disputes over the name from Natembeya's party.
The day closed with NCIC summoning MPs Didmus Barasa and Ariko over alleged ethnic incitement.
