President Uhuru Kenyatta’s address to the nation that was scheduled for Monday evening has been called off.
As per circulating media reports, the address was suspended due to Uhuru’s “busy schedule”.
Kenyans will be voting for the new government on Tuesday from 6 am to 5 pm.
Uhuru is exiting the office following the expiry of his two constitutional terms.
He has ruled the country since 2013.
The President had earlier this month started to move his personal belongings from the State House.
On Sunday, he held a special address to the Mt Kenya region thanking them for support and urging them to back Azimio Presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
The address was broadcast live on all GEMA community vernacular radio stations.
It is during the interview that Uhuru said he is not leaving but only changing his home address and will always help the incoming regime when needed.
“We are going nowhere, we will still be working together, there is a lot of work to be done. I have only one job left and I’m going to start another one,” he said.
“If elders send me to solve a problem or send me on a task, I will still avail myself to do the work. We will all be in this country sharing the same problems and issues.”
On matters of the handshake between him and Raila, the President said he consulted his Deputy William Ruto about it.
“During the pre-handshake period, there was no peace because we had demonstrations almost every day. Why would I let a country go towards that direction when we can sit and get to an understanding?”
