South Africa’s Opposition leader Julius Malema has urged Raila Odinga to accept defeat in the August 2022 presidential election.

Speaking on Saturday in Johannesburg during the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party 10th Anniversary rally, Malema noted that presidential candidates in Africa should not relive harrowing past experiences characterized by an election’s aftermath of brutal violence.

“We want to make a call to Kenya, especially to comrade Raila Odinga. Stop doing what you are doing. Do not disrupt Kenya. We need peace in Kenya. The President William Ruto was democratically elected in Kenya. I will not allow you to use the people of Kenya to destabilize the peace of Kenya,” Malema said.

This comes after Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition co-principal Kalonzo Musyoka said they will announce the next cause of action after last week’s anti-government protests against the high cost of living.

The coalition cancelled protests that were scheduled for Wednesday to hold candlelight vigils in honour of people killed or injured by police during the protests.
