Azimio la Umoja running mate Martha Karua has assured supporters that the battle is not yet lost after Deputy President William Ruto beat Raila Odinga in her polling station, one of the major shocks of the August 9, 2022, general elections.
Odinga gained 311 votes (25.2 per cent) but was not enough to beat Ruto's 911 votes (74 per cent) in terms of the ballots cast at Mugumo Primary School, where she cast her vote.
In two short comments, she noted that it was the people who made their decision and that the race was far from over.

"It’s not done till it’s done.
"Will always go with my heart!" read the short remarks on Twitter.
Karua brushed off a tweep who had accused her of changing her mind and supporting the individuals who supported the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) bill from the word go, which was turned into a document of history by Kenya's Judiciary.
The NARC-Kenya party leader had earlier congratulated Azimio candidate Naisula Lesuuda for her provisional victory in the Samburu West parliamentary ticket.
Raila's deputy president was one of the duo of major personalities who failed to deliver the crucial Mt Kenya votes to the former Prime Minister.
Karua was pivotal in countering the heatwave generated by the Kenya Kwanza coalition in the Mt Kenya region, one of the most critical areas needed for any presidential candidate to emerge victorious.
President Uhuru Kenyatta also failed to deliver the Mt Kenya votes, after his polling station recorded the following results: Deputy President William Ruto garnered 983 (67.3 per cent) against Raila Odinga's 479 (32.8) per cent of the total valid votes cast (1,460).
The Head of State has been numerously and publicly campaigning for Raila at the expense of his deputy, William Ruto, who has been going on a tirade against his actions as a result.
"When you hear someone insulting anyone, or pointing a finger at anyone, it is simply because they fear them. They cannot approach the head-on and resort to hurling insults.
"They are akin to a dog which keeps on barking but cannot bite. Once you scare it, the dog folds its tails in between its legs and runs away," he told Ruto during a public address at the Gusii stadium on Wednesday, August 3.
Provisional results indicate that Ruto is leading Raila in the race to be Kenya's fifth president, with Ruto taking control of some of the counties with a huge population ahead of the announcement of the final results by the IEBC.
