Kenya Kwanza Alliance presidential aspirant William Ruto has explained why he voted early today, Tuesday, August 9.
The Deputy President voted at Kosachei Primary School in Sugoi, Turbo Constituency in Uasin Gishu County shortly after holding prayers with his wife, Rachel, at their home.
DP Ruto arrived at the polling station a few minutes to the official opening of the station and he was the first person to cast his vote.
Speaking moments after casting his vote, the DP noted that he decided to vote early so that he doesn’t inconvenience to those who would be in the lines.
Ruto noted that due to his stature, he is likely to cause disruptions at the polling station.
“Everybody here wants a peaceful process. Our prayer before voting was about having a peaceful election. I am also delighted that this historic election will usher a new era for the country. I want to urge for a peaceful process,” DP Ruto said.
