President Uhuru Kenyatta has said he will not hold negotiations with the opposition, adding Kenyans should be allowed to vote in peace on October 26.

Speaking on the campaign trail at Saboti, Trans Nzoia county, yesterday, Uhuru warned the opposition against intimidating the IEBC.

 “There will be no sitting in boardrooms to negotiate and share government. It is Kenyans who have the right to decide who will be President,” he said.

The President said those who do not want to participate in the October 26 fresh election are free to do so, but should not curtail the rights of those who want to vote.

“The same way nobody is being forced to participate in the October 26 election, similarly no one has the right to stop those who want to participate,” Uhuru said.

He thanked residents for voting for him on August 8 and urged them to turn out in large numbers to exercise their democratic right in the October 26 fresh presidential election to ensure they secure a firm position in the government.

Uhuru, who was accompanied by Deputy President William Ruto, also spoke on Jubilee’s development agenda for Trans Nzoia county. He said more roads have been constructed in Trans Nzoia and electricity connection increased.
