President Uhuru Kenyatta on Saturday maintained that he has no problem with independent candidates from the Central region.
Speaking in a political rally in Meru, Uhuru said he will, however, only campaign for himself and those seeking various seats on a jubilee party ticket.
"Those we are competing with I have no problem with them. My heart has no hate for them because hatred cannot take me anywhere. As the jubilee party leader as I ask for your votes and on behalf of those seeking various positions I want to let you know have no problem with them because they are also our people. It is only you the Meru people who will decide," he said, as quoted by Capital FM.
Uhuru further urged the youth across the country to shun from activities that might trigger violence ahead of the August polls.
"Do not accept to be triggers of violence. Let no politician trick you to involve yourselves in violent activities because in any violence no politician will loose an eye, a hand or a leg," he said.
Uhuru further dismissed claims that after the opposition brigade visited some parts in Meru County, the region had ditched the ruling party and thrown their weight behind the opposition coalition.
