Editor's Review

Raila has disputed the results of the August 9 presidential elections citing irregularities.

Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has launched a scathing attack at South African EFF party leader Julius Malema following his utterances on the just concluded Kenyan elections. 

This comes after Malema congratulated Ruto for being declared the winner of the August 9, elections and at the same time asked Raila Odinga to concede defeat.

The remarks seemingly did not augur well with Ngunyi who told him off saying Kenya and South Africa are two different countries for him to issue such comments.

"Mr. Odinga must humble himself and form part of a government that will address the challenges confronting the people of Kenya, and not allow history to remember him as an individual who was desperate for power, at the cost of the progress of his nation," Malema said in a tweet.

He said the South African opposition leader does not understand Kenyan politics no wonder he made the remarks.

"Malema has the heart of a lion, and the brain of an Ox. This is why he does not understand Kenyan elections. Compared to Kenya, South Africans live in a Banana Republic. Kenya is Beyond them," he tweeted.

Malema's Tuesday comments were his second considering that he last week commented on the Kenyan elections and asked Raila to accept defeat.

Raila disputed the results of the August 9 presidential elections citing irregularities and a mismatch in the final tally..

On Monday, Raila and his Azimio la Umoja One Kenya brigade submitted a track-load of documents to the Supreme Court as evidence to back his claims in his quest to overturn Ruto's victory.

Ruto has said he will accept the court's decision on the petition. However, Malema asked the ODM leader to let go of his unbridled desire to ascend to power.

"We call on Mr. Raila Odinga to accept the elections outcome, and not form part of a tradition of causing instability, and uncertainty on African governance," Malema said in a series of tweets by his party.

He also revealed that he spoke to Ruto during which he congratulated him for his win.

"This morning, I spoke to President-elect William Ruto and congratulated him for winning the democratic elections in Kenya."
