In a statement, Dr. Aukot commends the decision by President Uhuru Kenyatta and National Super Alliance (NASA) Coalition leader Raila Odinga for burying the hatchet and moving towards peace and order for Kenya.

He also urged NASA co-principals Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi, and Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang’ula to join Raila in working with the government because his wise decision is the best move towards a peaceful Kenya.

Talking about wrongs in the past, Dr. Aukot said that both coalitions owe apologies to Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for disparaging their work and to the general public for disrespecting their Constitution.

Dr.Aukot concluded by saying that his party conceded defeat twice in 2017 and has vowed to work with the government from a meaningful opposition perspective.
