Political leaders from West Pokot county have called for dialogue between President Uhuru Kenyatta and National Super alliance leader Raila Odinga for peace ahead of next weeks presidential elections.
Speaking during Mashujaa day celebrations at Makutano primary the leaders said West Pokot county residents are ready for the October 26th elections urging police to beef up security in all the polling stations.
Led by West Pokot governor John Lonyangapuo the leaders appealed to voters in the county to turn out and participate in the elections.
“We endorsed President Uhuru Kenyatta as our presidential candidate and we still support him in the next weeks polls.” He said.
County Senator Samuel Poghisio urged the two presidential candidate’s Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga to put their political differences aside and dialogue to end the political stalemate in the country.
“A country does not only need an election but also it needs peace and unity. Raila and President Uhuru have disagreed over certain issues and the only way to save Kenya is through dialogue since divisive politics is going to create a rift” he said.
He added that the two camps should mind about the 45 million Kenyans who are ready to protect their country and surpass political differences to avert plunging the country into chaos.
Kapenguria MP Samuel Moroto asked Kenyans not to allow politics to divide them since elections come and go.
“Let’s turn out in large numbers on 26th October and vote to end all this political noises because we are only one nation” he said.
West Pokot county speaker Catherine Mukenyan’g suggested for the review of the Kenyan constitution as one way of bringing national cohesion in the county.
She asked leaders to strictly adhere to the constitution to ensure that the country in not divided into tribal lines.
