Striking photos from Uhuru and Ruto's last church service ahead of do-or-die election.
- President Uhuru, on Sunday, engaged in prayer sessions at two separate church services - Uhuru's first attended a service in Umoja before heading to Roysambu for another mass
- Both he and his deputy William Ruto went down on their knees in prayer to the polls less than 48 hours away.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto took some moments away from politics in a rare gesture as they engaged in intense prayers a day to the big day. Uhuru, on Sunday, August 6, attended two separate church services in Nairobi as he sought divine intervention ahead of the August polls.
His first stop was at Deliverance Church in Umoja, Nairobi, in a service that was attended by hundreds of congregants.
Uhuru, alongside DP Ruto then attended a service at the Jesus Winner Ministry in Roysambu, Nairobi.
During both church services, Uhuru took shunned away from the usual politics and instead focused on preaching peace ahead of an election that has been tipped as one of the most competitive in Kenya’s history. “I thank Kenyans for largely conducting peaceful campaigns and I urge all of us to remain united after August 8,” Uhuru spoke in Roysambu.
Other leaders in attendance were Jubilee gubernatorial and senatorial aspirants Mike Sonko and Johnstone Sakaja. The President and his deputy then engaged in an intense prayer session where a priest sought to pass blessings unto the leaders as they prepare to take on the opposition in less than 48 hours.
Only a day ago, both Uhuru and Raila held massive rallies in Nakuru and Nairobi respectively, in what might prove to be their last rallies for the presidency. The August 8 elections will be both Uhuru and Raila’s last shot at the presidency.
