South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) party leader Julius Malema is urging Raila Odinga to accept the recent Kenyan General Election results.
He spoke at a joint briefing of South Africa’s opposition parties on Wednesday.
“I think it is time for him to throw in the towel and try a different candidate. Perhaps there could be a different outcome. This is the fifth time, it can’t be done beyond this, he needs to accept and move on,” he said.
He said that Kenyans must accept the results, because “it is what it is”.
“With highly contested elections, and with such a very close outcome, you are likely to have people who are not satisfied. It comes with the nature of the game, ” Malema said.
“Kenyans must prioritise and protect Kenya and must protect democracy. They must love their country more than loving individuals.”
