President Uhuru Kenyatta has ruled out the possibility of opposition leader Raila Odinga ascending to power through the backdoor.
The president 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 wananchi 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.
“Looting, mass action and violence against women is not the way to go” he added.
President Kenyatta said Jubilee party would not engage in out-dated politics but instead it will focus on nurturing more youth to ascend to power.
The president assured Nyandarua County residents that the Jubilee administration would build two dams and upgrade road network in the region.
Local leaders led by Governor Francis Kimemia addressed wananchi and urged them to turn out in large numbers to affirm their choice of President Kenyatta through the ballot.
