President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday said he will hand over power to President-elect William Ruto on Tuesday.

Uhuru said that during a meeting he had with the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition Parliamentary Group at Maasai Lodge.

The outgoing president said he will hand over power to Ruto smiling because it is constitutional.

However, Uhuru emphasised that his leader is Azimio’s leader Raila Odinga.

“I will hand over power smiling because it is constitutional. Aluta continua… but I will leave knowing Baba is my leader,” Uhuru said.

Uhuru said politics should not cause people to hold grudges.

He, however, said Kenyans denied not only Raila but also denied themselves the chance to unite the country.

“Don’t think that you have denied Raila. You have denied yourself the opportunity of bringing the country together,” Uhuru said.

Uhuru cautioned the legislators to remain firm in the Azimio coalition and asked them not to allow themselves to be compromised.

“You denied yourself an opportunity to bring the country together, You haven’t denied Raila. Dont get pocketed,” the outgoing president said.
