Kenyans react to Uhuru’s election win
Peace calls filled the internet shortly after the Supreme Court upheld President Uhuru Kenyatta’s reelection.
Kenyans online urged fellow countrymen to remain peaceful despite their different political affiliations.
Some expressed their displeasure with the ruling, while others congratulated President Kenyatta.
In the typical KOT fashion, some injected some humor into the matter portraying how different sides of the political divide were reacting.
Peace calls:
#SupremeJudgment whatever the judgement. Kenya is bigger than individuals. We have to uphold peace Kenyans. We do not have a choice.
