Deputy President William Ruto has assured Kenyans that all will be well ahead of and after the repeat presidential election on October 26.
Speaking during the national prayer rally held at Afraha Stadium in Nakuru, Ruto said God is in control of the destiny Kenya faces.
He urged the country to remain focused and not be driven by anxiety and panic.
“I know there is anxiety in the country. I know there are those who do not know what will happen," he said.
"But we have come to Nakuru for prayers so that the country can know all is well and that God is in charge. And like He has done before, He will take us across this hurdle,” Ruto added.
The DP said he was optimistic that the country would even rise to greater heights and realise more growth and stability.
“It is our humble prayer to God to spare Kenya and take our country to a new level of progress, growth and stability – a nation where no one will be left behind and a Kenya we can all be proud citizens,” Ruto pointed out.
Among those who attended the prayers were First Lady Margaret Kenyatta and the DP's wife Rachel Ruto.
