Deputy President William Ruto has asked opposition leaders to allow Kenyans to exercise their Constitutional right of electing leaders of their choice without interference.
The Deputy President said opposition leaders should stop intimidating the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and allow the electoral body to prepare for the 2017 general election.
He told the opposition it was better off seeking the support of Kenyans rather than engaging the electoral body in meaningless political theatrics.
“We must be very clear as leaders that elections are not about the leaders. Elections are about every Kenyan in Kenya today because it is their Constitutional right to decide the leadership of the country,” said Ruto.
“We must allow Kenyans to make that decision in peace without threats, intimidation and blackmail,” he added.
Ruto urged Jubilee supporters to register as voters in large numbers to guarantee the Jubilee administration victory in the coming election.
“Everyone should register as a voter so that we can vote for a government that will serve you,” he said.
The Deputy President called on Jubilee aspirant to seek votes peacefully and shun practices that could divide Kenyans.
