The AOMA reported that all election-related procedures were carried out openly in front of representatives from various political parties, the media, and observers.
Despite pointing out several contentious topics, the association also claimed that the candidates who competed for various seats and their supporters accepted the outcomes.
The group also observed that some contenders congratulated their competitors after the results were announced. According to the AOMA observation mission, some disappointed candidates pleaded to their supporters to maintain calm while utilizing the legal post-election dispute channels.
This occurs as Raila Odinga, the leader of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition, accuses the IEBC of thwarting the people's will during the elections that resulted in the election of William Ruto as Kenya's fifth president.
Odinga contested President Ruto's victory before the Supreme Court, but the court upheld the IEBC's ruling.
