Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has sarcastically challenged opposition politicians to show the number of people they killed during elections to substantiate claims of electoral rigging.<\/p>\n

\n

Keyamo stated this in a post on his X platform on Thursday while reacting to the emerging slogan, \u201crig and die\u201d, ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

\n

He said the phrase should be embraced because it would make it difficult for opposition politicians to blame electoral defeats on rigging after losing elections conducted freely and fairly.<\/p>\n

\n

On a sarcastic note, the minister argued that those who allege rigging should be asked to account for the number of people killed during the election, suggesting that such deaths should correspond with the scale of alleged electoral manipulation.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe new buzz phrase \u2018rig and die\u2019 should excite all of us and we should all embrace it,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe simple reason is that when those who are now trumpeting it lose woefully in a free and fair context, it will be impossible for them to hide their humiliation at the polls under the guise of \u2018rigging\u2019 as they have always done.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis is because we will ask them how many \u2018riggers\u2019 they killed on the election day, because the number of those killed by them should be directly proportional to the amount of \u2018rigging\u2019 that took place!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

He added: \u201cIn other words, they need to show how many people they killed to prove the election was rigged!! Chai!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Keyamo\u2019s comments come amid political posturing and exchanges among parties and their supporters ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n
