President Uhuru Kenyatta on Monday directed his supporters on what to do to those who do not vote during the fresh presidential election.
While wrapping up his re-election campaign in Nairobi, the President called for peace ahead of the polls advocating for tolerance among neighbors.
"Let those who come out to vote go back to their neighborhoods and sit down with their neighbors who did not vote and embrace them as their brother and sister and as their fellow Kenyan and live in peace with them," he stated.
The President asked Kenyans to embrace peace and shun tribalism, cautioning them to avoid being incited by politicians who are only out to satisfy their personal interests.

“We should always cherish the peace and stability we are enjoying, let us not allow individuals to divide us because of their selfish interests,” he declared.
The President also assured Kenyans of adequate security before, on and after the voting day.
“We are warning anyone who will be tempted to block Kenyans from exercising their democratic right to vote will be dealt with according to the law,” he conveyed.
During the meet-the-people tour of Nairobi, he stated that Kenyans were tired of the prolonged electioneering period and yearned to finish with politics on October 26 so that they can get back to their nation-building activities.
“We need to do away with elections so that we can continue with our development activities.
“Allow Kenyans to vote peacefully. Those who want to vote should be allowed to exercise their rights the same way as those who do not want to vote,” he explained.
He was accompanied by Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, Senator Johnson Sakaja and a number of Members of Parliament.
