Kenyans have a right to vote to choose their leaders," said the president when he addressed residents of Karatina town. According to PSCU, aides said Odinga and his opposition associates had lodged more than 10 objections related to the election in court.Uhuru urged Kenyans to remain united and reject attempts by the opposition to divide them into tribal groupings. Ruto on his part said Raila was becoming jittery because he does not have a credible agenda for Kenya's progress or a track record to show he cares about Kenyans.
