A day after Kenya’s presidential election results were announced, a video was shared on Facebook and TikTok alongside a claim that it shows Azimio la Umoja coalition leader Raila Odinga conceding defeat to president-elect William Ruto. But the claim is false: Odinga has rejected the outcome of the latest elections and his coalition has launched a legal challenge. The video has been edited and actually shows Odinga’s concession speech after the Supreme Court affirmed Uhuru Kenyatta as president back in 2013.

The video was published on Facebook on August 16, 2022, and has been shared more than 60 times.

The post's caption reads: "Raila Odinga Concedes Defeat, Congratulates President William Ruto and his Team by Wishing them well (sic)", followed by applause emojis.

In the 30-second long clip, Odinga can be heard saying: “Ladies and gentlemen, it is my hope that the incoming government will have fidelity to our constitution, and implement it to the letter for the betterment of our people. And in this regard, I wish the president-elect ... honourable William Ruto ... and his team well.”

At the 19-second mark, there is a noticeable difference in the audio levels when Odinga mentions Ruto.

The same video was shared on TikTok with a caption claiming that “Raila has conceded defeat”.

However, this is false.
