Michael Ongubo Nyaigoti, a citizen and native of Kenya, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA’s) dismissal of his appeal of the order of the immigration judge (IJ) denying his application for withholding of removal. To obtain withholding of removal, an applicant must show a clear probability of persecution if removed. Roy v. Ashcroft, 389 F.3d 132, 138 (5th Cir. 2004).

Nyaigoti challenges the IJ’s adverse credibility determination and the IJ’s determination that Nyaigoti failed to show a clear probability of persecution, if he were to return to Kenya, on account of his alleged membership in a political party. Nyaigoti asserts that the inconsistencies in his live testimony and the evidence are not material to his claims. Although Nyaigoti seeks to minimize the importance of the inconsistencies, our review of the record does not compel a determination contrary to that of the IJ. See Chun v. INS, 40 F.3d 76, 78 (5th Cir. 1994); see also Efe v. Ashcroft, 293 F.3d 899, 905 (5th Cir. 2002). Similarly, Nyaigoti has failed to show that the evidence of past persecution or the probability of future persecution is so compelling as to require a conclusion contrary to that of the IJ. Chen v. Gonzales, 470 F.3d 1131, 1134 (5th Cir. 2006); Roy v. Ashcroft, 389 F.3d at 138.

The petition for review is DENIED.
