13 SHARES Share TweetNAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 6 – Deputy President William Ruto has turned down an offer of a handshake after Tuesday’s election by his closest rival and Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga. Odinga had earlier said he was ready to shake hands with his main rival DP Ruto whether he wins or not during next week’s general election. Speaking during his final campaign rally at the Kasarani Stadium, Odinga pointed out that this will enhance the spirit of reconciliation following the hotly contested election. “I want to assure Kenyans that I will continue with this handshake doctrine, the doctrine of unclenching the fist. I will respect the things we did together, but I will build on that foundation, and it is going to be phenomenal,” said Ruto.
