Waiguru Claims There Is Plot To Rig Gubernatorial Votes

In an appeal to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to delay vote counting, Waiguru claimed that additional ballot boxes containing ballots were transported through the rear entrance of the tallying center. She claims this was an act of daylight rigging.

“Rigging in broad day light??? – Two ballot boxes with governors’ ballots enter Kianyaga through the back door in broad daylight! They MUST be removed and tallying MUST stop!” Waiguru wrote on twitter.

Waiguru, who is fighting for reelection, is up against independent candidate and female legislator Purity Ngirici.

Charles Kiburu, the outgoing senator for Kirinyaga, participated in the competition but conceded early defeat to Waiguru and Ngirici.

“I take this early opportunity to accept and respect the choice of Kirinyaga voters in relation to the just concluded Gubernatorial elections where I was a candidate. I wish to thank all my supporters, my electoral team, friends, my running mate Hon. Peter Ndambiri and my family for your support during the entire electioneering period,” Kibiru said after concession.

Kibiru was endorsed by the Azimio One Kenya candidate Muriithi Kagai who stepped down for him. Kagai was vying on a NARC-Kenya ticket.
