The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has called for answers from former President Uhuru Kenyatta after he claimed that the late party leader Raila Odinga won the 2022 presidential election.
In a statement dated Wednesday, September 23, 2026, ODM questioned why Uhuru had chosen to disclose his position more than four years after the election, particularly after the matter had gone through the constitutional process.
The party questioned why Uhuru did not speak out when the alleged electoral injustice occurred and why his administration facilitated the transfer of power to William Ruto if he believed Raila had won.
ODM said Uhuru’s remarks had touched a ‘raw nerve’ among ODM members and millions of Kenyans who supported Raila.
The party added that the former President should explain the circumstances surrounding the transfer of power.
The former President made the remarks during a Jubilee Party meeting in Nairobi, saying he and his allies had done everything possible to support Raila’s presidential bid and that he remained convinced the former opposition leader had won.
“We did everything to help Baba become the President of the Republic of Kenya. And he got the votes, and to this day, I know that he is the one who won that election,” Uhuru said.
