President Uhuru Kenyatta has declared that he will accept the outcome of the August 8 presidential election.
Speaking at the Eldoret Stage Lodge, the Head of State assured Kenyans of his commitment to ensuring a peaceful transition after the polls irrespective of the outcome.
“We exhibit highest degree of maturity to navigate this country through peace before and after the elections. We should not squander what millions of Kenyans dream of,” said President Kenyatta
Uhuru said his competitors should also commit to maintaining peace and conceding defeat.
“In 2002 when I lost the elections, I conceded. I am proud and urge my competitors to pronounce themselves on this matter. They should commit to this, ensure peace and accept the decision of Kenyans in August.”
Uhuru noted Kenya has many parties but that this is the very reason for unity as democracy is allowed.
“We are a young country made up of a fabric of diversity for which we should be proud. Our democracy should be unashamedly protected,” he said.
