Kenyans should heed Raila's call for peace

Raila categorically stated that Azimio does not recognise the presidential results announced by IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati. [Denish Ochieng, Standard].

The pre-August 9 General Election period was largely peaceful, except for minor incidents in a few areas where campaigns turned chaotic.

On the whole, Kenyans conducted themselves remarkably well, tolerated each other's views and gave aspirants the chance to sell their manifestos. That accounts for the peaceful campaigns, even where opposing camps ran into each other.
