In a message signed by the PDP Presidential candidate, he said \u201cthe people of Kenya have done well so far with the election process. The announcement of the results and declaration of a winner is the crunch time.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though a winner has emerged, and indeed has to emerge in an electoral contest of this nature, the people of Kenya and certainly its democracy is the greatest winner.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere can never be any losers if everyone joins hands in working together to improve the well-being of the people. It is imperative that the citizens cutting across all political divides eschew violence and animosity in order to safeguard the gains of the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever issues there are about the election can always be resolved within the ambits of the law. As one, Kenyans will be the better for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI congratulate President-elect William Ruto and acknowledge Raila Odinga for a closely fought contest.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
