President Uhuru Kenyatta yesterday said he was confident of winning next Tuesday’s presidential election by a three million vote margin.

Speaking in Kitui, Mr Kenyatta who was accompanied by his deputy William Ruto, said he will beat his main challenger, NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga by more than three million votes.

“In 2013, we won fair and square, beating our competitors by almost 800,000 votes. Persistent claims that the elections were rigged will not stop us from beating them again by more than three million votes”  the president said at Kitui Municipal Stadium.

He was in his last leg of campaign rallies in the Ukambani region.

He said claims of election rigging were part of wider political narrative by the opposition leaders to incite their supporters and set stage for rejecting results once beaten at the ballot.

The President urged Kenyans not to hang around polling stations after casting their ballots on August 8.

“Our duty as voters ends the moment we cast our votes. We should therefore go home peacefully and wait for the results there instead of milling around polling stations” he said.

The deputy president said the Jubilee administration has delivered on all the 2013 election campaign pledges to Ukambani region despite the community voting for the Cord leadership then.

Ruto explained to the residents that the present election contest is between President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga and not between him and Mr Musyoka.
