In his acceptance speech, Uhuru Kenyatta (who’d campaigned by touring Kenya holding prayer meetings, amongst other rallies) had said “I thank God for sustaining us and for bringing us this far. I thank all those who have remained vigilant in prayer for our nation during this time”.
“Kwa miaka yote hiyo nimefarijika kuwapa ujumbe wa upendo Watanzania bila kujali tofauti za imani zao, mimi kwa muda mrefu nimekuwa mdau wa amani popote niendapo nahubiri upendo pamoja na amani kwa kutumia kauli mbiu yangu ya kweli,” anasema.
