President Uhuru Lauds Kenyans for Voting Despite Intimidation, Witchcraft

President Uhuru Kenyatta has thanked Kenyans for turning out in large numbers on October 26th repeat presidential election despite the challenges.
Uhuru garnered 7,483,895 votes im the repeat poll and was on Monday evening declared President-elect by Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati, having satisfied the 50 percent plus one vote and at least 25 percent in more than half of the 47 counties.
While delivering his acceptance speech at the IEBC national tallying center Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi, the President lauded his supporters for braving intimidation, violence and witchcraft to cast their ballot on October 26th.
''I want to thank all of you turned out to vote despite violence, intimidation and witchcraft.We should start the process of re-establishing the nation while respecting the rule of law''Uhuru said.
He expressed his commitment to submitting to the constitutional path and the rule of law should his victory be contested at the Supreme Court. He also ruled out chances of holding dialogue with Raila Odinga before the opposition exhausted all constitutional avenues to the election dispute.
"Let them first exhaust their constitutionally laid processes. Nobody shall deny them their constitutional right. I will only discuss once the processes are over. I am not going to Jump the gun."
The Head of State further hit out at the opposition leader for pulling out of the presidential race after having petitioned the court to order for another election.
"Despite the fact that my competitor went to court, he chose to ignore the rest of the ruling which said the election was to happen within 60 days and by IEBC. He ultimately chose to abandon the fresh poll. You cannot choose the opportunity to exercise a right and thereafter abscond the consequences of that choice,” said the President.

Orengo & baba must be on anti-psychotic drugs. They did not see it coming that way. 98% win is an A+. Borrowing from my friend who said this is the only election in history that Raila will say his votes were not stolen because his supporters stayed at home

No MATUSI. Chevukati had said that "the Constitution 'might' just be the answer to Kenya’s problems". For him to say 'might' instead of 'must' shows how a COWARD and INEPT he is in Legal and Constitutional Matters. This is SAD for Kenya and SADDER for the Law Society of Kenya.

Uhuru, you now have the full mandate to run the country. Pple came in droves to support you. We at the lake could not because baba sent his militia to run the town. We are very scared and we are asking for government protection against these gangs which have infiltrated the whole of Nyanza. Please Uhuru take baba to a nursing home, Orengo keeps taking advantage of him too. Save us from this turmoil which has driven prices high of fish and tomatoes. I have to go, I am writing this in secret.

Raila has made people think that it was Luos throwing stones. He had paid organised gangs to do this. Kisumu is a Kenyan town and Uhuru should seek out the people of
Kisumu and address their needs now that Baba will be in the forest rebelling.

🎃🎃 are the savages.The savages are the ones who own the name. Don't know what you mean but don't drag us down with that kind of name calling. We may differ with my fellow Kenyans but at the end of the day we are Kenyans. And who cares what they think anyway, it just proves to us that we are the only ones who can solve our problems!!!.

Onkoba,they were running for their safety.You would too if you saw houses burning,and people throwing stones at the cops,and looting... dangerous situation anywhere.But Iam sure some thought of is as african savagery ...Anything bad that happens in africa to amzungu is due to the africans' primitive mind...and it does not matter if you point out that it happens in other parts that are not african...

Maybe Raila thought the decision to annul the election was made in a Kangaroo court. Raila is a delusional manipulator and a spin-doctor who thinks Kenya is either his way or no way at all. Kenyans courts are not Kangaroo courts. The judges do not make their decisions in an animal farm. They follow the rule of law as dictated in the constitution.

You should thank the areas known as Jubilee zones basically your kinmen and the remainder are just numbers otherwise kown as vifaranga vya komputa. You were running against yourself yet you keep reaching out to Baba to accept when he was not in the election.A sham election is what it was but you are free to call it Kenyans choice despite the fact that you got elected by less than 40% of the total registered voters.Minority president

President Uhuru Kenyatta, congratulations and enough of thanking us already. We're behind schedule. This train ought to have left the station almost three months ago but for Odinga's melodramatics and shenanigans hoodwinking a section of our good Kenyans into thinking that they're victims in their own country. Please get to work. Close the ethinic divide. Put the family back together immediately. One people, one nation-forever progress for all. It shouldn't even matter that some of them called you names- it's not about you it is about the pain they feel of being disenfranchied- and whether this is real or imaginary, it's now your job to regather the family, make us strong and proud to be Kenyans.And fix this country: end corruption, impunity, nepotism and all. Put corrupt tycoons and politicians in jail we're number 3 most corrupt nation on earth according to Price Water House, 2016- and yet we cannot brag of a single corrupt politician or tycoon in jail. Help create jobs, fix our health care, and schools must be upgraded and made accessible to all. You are not running again, this is your last lap,please make it count. Make Kenya a great country so that it will be easy for our next team, William Ruto and Fred Matiang'i to make our nation greater come 2022.
