Amani Coalition presidential candidate Musalia Mudavadi on Sunday urged Kenyans to pray for peaceful elections.
While addressing a church congregation in Webuye Catholic Church, Mr Mudavadi also asked Kenyans to vote wisely to avoid a repeat of the 2008 post election violence.
“Pray for our country but vote for Amani Coalition because the other outfits represent the past elections in which we experienced turbulence that threatened our country. We in Amani Coalition stand
for peace, unity of all Kenyans and offer an alternative peaceful leadership and not the polarising political competition by our opponents,” he said.
for peace, unity of all Kenyans and offer an alternative peaceful leadership and not the polarising political competition by our opponents,” he said.
Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi said a vote for Amani will be a vote for a peaceful transition.
“Amani means peace, reconciliation, unity and stability. I ask Kenyans to associate and vote for Amani and not fellows who will call each other names from day one in government,” he said.
He also appealed to area residents to shun propaganda by his opponents scared of his candidature.
“Some leaders fuelled by ethnic hate have started misinformation that I am only a Luhya leader. They conveniently forget that western is the most cosmopolitan region after Rift Valley and Nairobi," he said.
However, he said the Amani Coalition offers the people of western Kenya the greatest gift of unity, which has been elusive politically.
“I want to thank my brother Eugene for sacrificing his ambitions to support me. We will work together to unite Kenyans in the western region so as to earn respect and end being the laughing stalk in
national politics,” he told the congregation.
