Stop the propaganda that elections will not be peaceful: Mudavadi tells opposition

Why it matters
Political rhetoric regarding election integrity is a critical factor in maintaining social stability and democratic processes in Kenya.
Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has assured Kenyans of free, fair and credible elections on Tuesday August 10, 2027.
Every five years, Mudavadi said, the Kenyan constitution guarantees citizens the right to vote and exercise their democratic will at the ballot.
He dismissed the opposition for propagating lies and instilling fear amongst Kenyans that elections will not be peaceful.
“We have only one constitution and it guarantees every Kenyan the right to vote. Those beating drums of disunity and spreading ethnicity are enemies of democracy. Kenyans should ignore their call and focus on the agenda to exercise their constitutional right and vote,” Mudavadi said.
“History has proved that after every five years, Kenya has conducted peaceful elections. We have always come out a united people. In 2027, it will not be different and there will be no shortcut. We will hold elections and they will be peaceful.”
