President Uhuru Kenyatta is optimistic that the courts will rule in his favour on the election petition filed by NASA leader Raila Odinga.
Uhuru speaking during his father Jomo Kenyatta's memorial service at the St Stephens Cathedral in Nairobi on Tuesday, said he is confident that God will give Jubilee a win in the ruling.
"I know God will favour us. I will welcome our competitors so that we dialogue", said president Uhuru Kenyatta.
The Opposition moved to the Supreme Court to challenge the results of the August 8 presidential election.
IEBC said Uhuru won the the polls with a margin of 1.4 million votes but Raila rejected the outcome saying the tally was false.
Uhuru on his part accepted the results and congratulated Kenyans for re-electing him.
"Even in this election, no Kenyan made a mistake. Everyone went to the ballot and voted according to his will," said Uhuru.
Supreme court is expected to make a ruling by September, 1, 2017.
