Politicians have been urged to avoid plunging the country into anarchy after Tuesday’s General Election.

Religious leaders, under the umbrella of the Multi-Sectoral Forum, also urged Kenyans not to agree to be incited to violence and asked those dissatisfied with the outcome of the election to seek redress in court. They claimed that some political players had organised gangs to cause violence if they lost.
