Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has urged more Kenyans to register as voters and ‘liberate’ the country in the 2027 general elections.
The former Mathira Member of Parliament (MP) has said the citizens have a date with destiny in August 2027, as the polls will give them a chance to elect leaders who are better for the country.
“Dear Kenyans, my solemn promise to you is that I will remain honest and will tell you the truth as it comes to me. I will do this with great courage, patriotism, and responsibility and without fear or favour,” Gachagua said in a statement.
“I plead with the people of Kenya to stay alive, stay safe, and register as voters, for we all have a date with destiny to liberate our country on 10th Aug. 2027. We shall liberate our country through the mechanism provided for by our Constitution: the ballot.”
Keep away from violence
Gachagua also urged Kenyans to keep away from state agents who plan violence against them.
“Whenever they plan violence against innocent Kenyans, we must keep away and call them out. I thank God for the peaceful day today and pray that we shall have peace in the days to come as we prepare for the general elections,” he added.
“Restraint by the people of Kenya is a vote of no confidence in this regime. It will serve as a lesson to future administrations that the people are supreme, and they must be listened to.”
