Mr. Mahama made these comments in a post on Facebook on Tuesday, September 6, 2022.
Kenya’s Supreme Court on Monday, September 5, confirmed Ruto as the winner of the disputed presidential election.
Ruto’s rival, Raila Odinga had challenged the election, saying there had been massive fraud.
However, the judges dismissed Odinga’s concerns. They said the evidence presented by the petitioners was false.
Ruto is expected to be sworn in as Kenya’s fifth President next week.
