The United Democratic Alliance Party has stated what would occur if President Uhuru does not attend the inauguration of their party's leader, President-Elect William Ruto, at Kasarani Stadium, if fresh information becomes available.
The UDA has urged that President Uhuru attend the swearing-in event and witness the transfer of power to the new Kenya Kwanza administration, but it is not their obligation if he is unable to do so.
Unnamed United Democratic Alliance party official remarked, "We know he's disappointed that his attempt failed."
This comment from an official of the UDA Party echoes Deputy President-elect Rigathi Gachagua's earlier announcement that the inauguration would go regardless of Uhuru's presence. "President Kenyatta and President-elect Ruto have not spoken on the phone or in any other manner; because we cannot compel him, it is his choice. Rigathi Gachagua was cited as stating, "If he doesn't want to congratulate the president-elect, that's OK; nonetheless, as the Constitution mandates, efforts for William Ruto to assume national leadership are proceeding smoothly."
Kenyans should also be aware that the military parade and sword transfer were simply ceremonial and that the leaving presidents were not required by law to participate, since the Constitution stipulates that the Chief Justice and Chief Registrar of the Judiciary play vital responsibilities.
The Chief Justice and the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary are nominated by law; there are only two of them, and they meet in a field."
He had a few words to say.
