President Uhuru Kenyatta has urged Kenyans to live in harmony after the repeat presidential election scheduled to take place on Thursday (October 26).

President Uhuru asked Kenyans on Sunday to exercise their democratic right by voting for the leaders of their choice. He also called on Kenyans to dismiss politicians who may want to incite them to fight.

“Even as I urge all Kenyans to come out and vote, those who will vote and those who will not must remember that after October 26 they will still be neighbours and they must continue to live together harmoniously,” said Uhuru.

Accompanied by his deputy William Ruto, Uhuru reiterated that Kenyans must stand firm to ensure that Kenya moves forward from politics that is derailing development.

Speaking at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru County during national prayers, DP Ruto assured Kenyans that God is in control of the country’s situation.

“I know there is anxiety in the country. I know there are those who do not know what will happen. But we have come to Nakuru for prayers so that the country can know all is well and that God is in charge. And like He has done before, He will take us across this hurdle,” the Deputy President said.

He added that Kenyans must join hands in ensuring that every talent and resource in the country is used not to undermine the country but to prosper Kenya.

“It is our humble prayer to God to spare Kenya and take our country to a new level of progress, growth and stability – a nation where no one will be left behind and a Kenya we can all be proud citizens,” Ruto pointed out.

First Lady Margaret Kenyatta and the Deputy President’s wife, Rachel Ruto, were among thousands of Kenyans who attended the prayer service.
