Earlier, elected leaders and politicians from the Gusii community present at the meeting promised to campaign for President Kenyatta in the repeat presidential elections. Some of the leaders who addressed the meeting include Nakuru Governor Lee Kinyanjui, who urged the community to vote for President Kenyatta. Nakuru Town West MP Samuel Arama assured President Kenyatta that the community will back his re-election in the October 17 elections. Former Constitution of Implementation Commission Chairman Charles Nyachae said the community has opportunity to double the number of votes they gave President Kenyatta in the August 8 General Election. President Kenyatta has in the recent past attacked the Supreme Court headed by Justice Maraga over its decision to nullify his election.
