The Jubilee coalition has pledged to turn around Kenya's economy if it clinches power.
Presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta said Friday his government would be all inclusive as he urged supporters to turn up in large numbers on Monday to cast votes in his favour.
"We are going to form a government that works with all Kenyans irrespective of where they come from or who they support," Mr Kenyatta said in Homa Bay County.
He urged locals to take advantage of the devolved system of government for economic growth.
“We do not want to see a situation where a fish processing plant is established in Nairobi and not Homa Bay county where the raw material is," he said.
Mr Kenyatta wooed the youth and women with a promise that Jubilee would give them grants to start businesses.
Mr Kenyatta’s running mate William Ruto said a Jubilee government would be committed to forming an all-inclusive government.
“Let us work together as one nation where not only a few people are enjoying while a bigger number languishing in poverty," Mr Ruto said.
“We will use all avenues to ensure that we develop the country from agriculture, fishing and tourism to feed Kenyans especially the youth and women."
Earlier, the leaders campaigned in Bungoma County where they predicted a win in the first round.
Mr Kenyatta said Jubilee will give rival coalition Cord a humiliating defeat.
He said the Sh6 billion set aside for the run off would be better spent on funding income generating activities for the youth.
"We don’t want the country to go through another month waiting anxiously to know the president. That is why we are urging you to join hands with us so that we win this election in the first round,” he said.
Mr. Kenyatta challenged all those contesting for various seats in the elections to accept the verdict of Kenyans and support the winners.
He called on Kenyans to vote peacefully and wait for the results to be announced as they move on with their lives.
"No one should incite you into fighting each other. We should move on as a a team after the outcome of the elections,” he said.
