President Uhuru Kenyatta has said Kenyans will not succumb to intimidation, affirming that the fresh presidential election will be held on October 26 in line with the Constitution and the Supreme Court ruling.
Addressing a huge campaign rally at Sirisia in Bungoma County, President Kenyatta reiterated that nobody will be allowed to prevent Kenyans from exercising their democratic right.
“The same way you will be exercising your democratic right in boycotting the election, there are millions of Kenyans – who do not make noise like you but are waiting for October 26 to vote and you cannot deny them their right,” President Kenyatta told the opposition.
The President reminded opposition leader Raila Odinga that he is the one who went to court to seek fresh election and should not stop Kenyans from expressing their will through the ballot.
“The most sacred right of citizens is the right to vote for their elected leaders. There is no person who can deny Kenyans their constitutional right,” President Kenyatta said.
President Kenyatta, at the same time, assured Kenyans of adequate security to exercise their democratic and constitutional right to vote in the October 26 fresh election.
The President emphasised that nobody will be allowed to muzzle Kenyans’ voice by disenfranchising them so as to get power through the back door.
