He urged them to ignore such leaders as their agenda is only to serve their narrow selfish interests.

“When leaders come seeking votes from you, don’t allow them to incite you to start fighting one another. Reject such politicians who neither mean well for you or for the country,” said the President.

He added: “Don’t allow yourselves to be used as weapons to fight their battles.”

Uhuru urged aspirants eyeing various political seats to conduct their campaigns without inciting wananchi.

“Unity is the only way through which we can prosper. Tribalism and divisions cannot feed, create jobs or allow businesses to thrive. Let's all seek votes in peace," he said.

More than 1,100 people died during 2007 disputed Presidential polls. Others more than half a million were displaced.
