President Uhuru Kenyatta has said he will hand over power peacefully if defeated in the coming general elections.
Speaking to journalists at Sagan lodge in Nyeri Kenyatta pledged to hand over power to whoever wins come August 2017.
“I will accept the will of the people of Kenya that is the law nothing more,” said the president.
At the same time, Uhuru called the Independent Electro and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to start mobile voter registration in semi-arid and arid areas.
The president also piled pressure on chiefs to distribute national Identity cards, which may be lying in their office to the owners.
The head of the state said voting is a right to each and every Kenyan above 18 years, and no one should deny Kenyans the right.
He vowed to go round the country sensitizing people about voters’ registration, as he noted that most people are not aware of it.
“Your future is affected by you not deciding on who you want to govern your county, county, constituency and ward,” said Uhuru.
This is the first time the president spoke publicly on what he would do if he loses in the coming general election.
Most African problems are known for not handing over power peacefully if they lose it in a general election.
