Deputy President William Ruto gets emotional during a prayer gathering held at his Karen residence with prominent clergy from Nairobi County.
Prior to the elections on August 9, members of the clergy and senior church members gathered for a prayer meeting organized by DP Ruto and his wife Mama Rachel Ruto.
But after a lengthy period of prayer and after Dr. Ruto had received words of encouragement, the deputy resident was called to the podium, and his emotions were apparent.
The DP could be seen in the video wiping away emotions as he spoke about the value of peace and the difficulties his campaign had to face.

His eyes were wet as he talked about the need of conducting a peaceful election and thanked the clergy for their assistance throughout his campaign.
“Thank you for honouring our invitation so that we can have a moment of prayer together. We all know where we are as a country. We know the moments and we know the times and we know the challenges and I requested we have this moment of prayer together because of the weight of the issues that we are faced with in these last days before we go to the vote,” Dr Ruto stated.
Adding:
“We have many schedules but the bible reminds us to seek the kingdom of God first. Thank you for coming to pray with my team and me. I underestimated this meeting but it has turned out to be something I never imagined,” he said.
“Let me say we are truly grateful as a team because we have seen God’s hand in this journey. The far that God has brought us and the many issues that we have overcome we have seen the hand of God.
“Along the journey, we have come to appreciate that men can let you down but God wouldn’t. We have come to the realization of trusting God because human beings can let you down,” he noted.
