[Photo|PSCU]President Uhuru Kenyatta has ruled out the possibility of opposition leader Raila Odinga ascending to power through the backdoor.He said there is no leader who can access power through incitement and violence as all authority is vested on wananchi who can only give it through the ballot.The president who was accompanied by the Deputy President William Ruto, was addressing residents in Shamata, Nyandarua County.He dismissed opposition's plan of inciting Kenyans to mass violence so that he can negotiate for a coalition government."His focus is organising protests and calling for press conference to incite violence," said the President.He attacked NASA, citing a video clip believed to be of opposition leader Raila Odinga, uttering sentiments on obscenity, after it went viral on social media, eliciting harsh reactions.The amateur clip showed the Opposition leader asking his supporters to participate in demos, saying: "Kesho nataka kuona chupi za akina mama. Chupi za vijana za vijana kwa barabara.""Looting, mass action and violence against women is not the way to go. You can not ask our women to do dirty things and expect to be their leader," Uhuru said.He noted, unlike NASA, Jubilee party would not engage in out-dated politics but instead it will focus on nurturing more youth to ascend to power.Deputy President Ruto echoed the president’s sentiments saying, "He is calling for mass action to incite violence so that he can get to power through the back door.""There is no other way of getting to power, it is only through the votes of citizens," he added.The deputy president said Jubilee will defeat NASA the same way it did in the August 8th polls.Local leaders led by Governor Francis Kimemia addressed residents and urged them to turn out in large numbers to affirm their choice of President Kenyatta through the ballot.
