“Final Say Is With God” Ruto Preaches Peace As Kenyans Wait For Presidential Results
William Ruto, a candidate for president of Kenya, spoke in front of the general public on Sunday for the first time since the general election.
At a church service held at his Karen home, where his political loyalists were present, Ruto praised Kenyans for casting ballots in the election.
“Nataka niwashukuru Wakenya wote, mimilioni kumi na nne waliojitokeza kupiga kura ndio tuwe na kiongozi mwingine wa miaka mitano ijayo,” DP Ruto said.
While Kenyans cast ballots to select their new president, according to Ruto, God ultimately decides who will lead the nation.
“Kura Hupigwa ili kujua ile itajitokeza, lakini uamuzi unatoka kwa mungu in as much as we went to vote, the final say is with God,”
Ruto also went on to celebrate leaders from various parties who clinched various seats in the just concluded polls.
“We congratulate all leaders who won even as we wait patiently and peacefully for the next step, as we wait for the conclusion of the election process,” he added.
The DP also advised Kenyans to be patient with the IEBC as the Bomas of Kenya continue the verification process.
“We ask all of us to be patient with all the processes that are going on at the moment and to pray for the IEBC so that they can complete this exercise in the manner in which we voted,” Ruto said.
“We’ve had peaceful elections, it is my prayer that we end this process peacefully,”
