In a Twitter post, Wanyama told Kenyans: “To my fellow countrymen exercising your democratic right tomorrow,I want to wish you all the best and have a peaceful one #ElectionsKE2017."

Fans immediately commented on his adorable gesture, writing hilarious things like:

“Hapa form ni Cannan tu”

“Plz come home and vote baba.... Bt wewe already in canaan”

“Wewe piga mpira sisi tukuchagulie kiongozi”

However, some thanked him for his positive message.
