Deputy President William Ruto was overcome with emotion on Tuesday while hosting a prayer meeting in his Karen home.
Ruto is seen getting into a prayerful mood during praise and worship sessions, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
At one point, the DP is seen with his hands on his face, blinking with watery eyes, possibly fighting back tears.
Ruto was standing next to his wife, Rachel Ruto, as they both participated in a prayer meeting led by Bishop Mark Kariuki.
During the vote of thanks, the DP thanked God for the presidential journey he had begun.
Ruto expressed gratitude for seeing God’s hand throughout the journey. He stated that they had to endure and overcome numerous challenges along the way.
According to the DP, Kenya is fighting a spiritual battle that can only be won through the prayers of those who believe.
‘As a team, we are really grateful and we have seen God’s hand in this journey,” he said.
Furthermore, the Kenya Kwanza presidential candidate called for a peaceful election, urging Kenyans to pray for peace.
“We want every Kenyan to pray for peace because we want to cast our votes in peace and eventually the will of God will prevail,” he noted.
“We want to ask you to continue to pray for us and for the peace of the country… There are people who would want to disrupt the peace of our country,” he added.
