President Uhuru Speaks after Monday's Supreme Court Decision Upholding His Re-election

President Uhuru Kenyatta has spoken following Monday's Supreme Court decision that upheld his reelection in October 26th repeat elections.

In a statement issued by State House spokesman Manoah Esipisu on Tuesday morning at Harambee House in Nairobi, the President-elect reassured Kenyans of his commitment to uniting Kenyans and initiating a national healing process during his second term in office.

Uhuru further pledged to serve all Kenyans despite their political inclinations, and to develop all parts of the country.

"The President would like to assure all Kenyans, those who voted for him and those who did not vote for him, that he will be their President," the statement read.

Uhuru further expressed his regret over violence and disorder that occurred during the electioneering period and assured that his government will protect every Kenyan and their property.

"It is the responsibility of the President to protect citizens and their property," Esipisu noted.

During the press briefing, Manoah confirmed that more than 40 countries had sent messages congratulating President Uhuru on his re-election.

On Monday, six Supreme court judges unanimously dismissed two petitions challenging October 26th poll and upheld the reelection of President Uhuru.

"The court has unanimously determined that the petitions are not merited. The petitions are hereby dismissed. The presidential election is upheld," Chief Justice David Maraga said.

The President will take Oath of Office at a Swearing-in ceremony to be held at Kasarani Stadium on Tuesday, November 28th.
