ODM appointed a committee of elders - led by Ntimama/Gumo/others
They commissioned a study - basically some experts to do MOAS - on possible scenarios.
Conclusion - all of ODM luminaries would beat Kibaki.
But only Kalonzo could beat Kibaki in rig proof margins.
A meeting was held in Kenya Club with all ODM luminaries
Ruto was chosen to deliver the bad news.
Ruto told Raila point blank his win was going to be stolen - he needed to step down.
The reason - As a Luo - there were many areas that were not comfortable to vote for Kihii.
Raila cried. Kajwang wailed. They said Luos were kenyan like everyone.
Ruto told them it is what it is.
After the meeting - Raila and Luos drove to Ruto house in Karen. In Raila camp they knew Kalenjin were critical - while Luhyas would play ball. Kalonzo obviously was just busy measuring drapes for statehouse.
They besieged Ruto until Ruto changed his mind - and told Raila - okay let get it done. It would be difficult but not impossible.
And as predicted - Kibaki planned the rigging knowing he need just 300-400k votes to top Raila.
Even RV agrees . if Raila supported Kalonzo Kibaki would have lost
Same mistake they are doing now If Raila runs Ruto will win and still ODM will claim it was rigged.
About results coming in it was Medias fault . Wherever they wete getting those results only they know. They were not official results.
Ive showcased right here ODM strongholds had miraculous voter turn out.
