Rachel Ruto sends message to UDA supporters ahead of presidential results announcement “the baby is ours”
Rachel Ruto sends a cryptic message to Kenya Kwanza supporters ahead of the announcement of the presidential results.
Deputy President William Ruto’s wife, Rachel Ruto, expressed her optimism that the results wouldn’t be tampered with or altered to favor any of the presidential contenders during a church service on Sunday, August 14.
Rachael expressed confidence that the IEBC, headed by Wafula Chebukati, would declare the winner in the presidential contest based on the total votes, alluding to the Biblical account of King Solomon and two women claiming possession of a baby after one of the babies was found dead.
“We are praying that someone will not sleep on our baby and kill him. And let there be no exchange,” Rachael stated.
“There shall be no exchange in the name of Jesus!”
Rachel expressed optimism that her husband’s victory was imminent and asked the leaders allied to Kenya Kwanza and Ruto’s supporters to keep calm and wait for IEBC’s final announcement.
She said the electorates had done their civic duty on Tuesday, August 9, and now it was time to protect the votes and make sure the counting procedure was open.
“Our baby was born on August 9 (referring to Ruto’s win), but he has not been discharged from the hospital. Let us pray that the baby will be discharged safely to us (referring to the final announcement by IEBC on the presidential race),” Rachel stated.
On the other side, Ruto appreciated Kenyans who participated in the democratic process.
He also lauded the leaders who had been declared winners by IEBC in various elective positions.
At a different Church service event, Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate, Raila Odinga, called for peace amid the chaos witnessed at the National Tallying Centre located at the Bomas of Kenya.
“Lord, make us instruments of Thy peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, a union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy,” Raila prayed.
“We want to thank the Lord for having brought us so far, through election campaigns. Elections have been peaceful so far; we hope this peace will prevail even after elections.”
