The president elect Uhuru Kenyatta has extended his sincere gratitude to Kenyans for re-electing him for another 5 years term as the head of state.

Speaking in Bomas of Kenya a few minutes after being announced the winner by IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati, Mr. Kenyatta congratulated those who had won and lost in the recent elections.

He added that it was time to unite Kenyans and maintain the sovereignty of the state rather than maintaining political divisions. Kenyatta also lauded Kenyans for exercising peace during the election and urged them to maintain the same.

“We all are citizens of one republic. Politicians come and go. Let us move forward together. We can not fight over an election. Your neighbor will always be your neighbor. Elections will come and go but Kenya will always be here, “said Uhuru Kenyatta while addressing the public at Bomas of Kenya.

Mr. Uhuru called upon the opposition to work hand in hand with him towards ensuring the welfare of the people of Kenya and create a prosperous, secure and a stable nation.
