DP Ruto Breaks Down During Prayer at His Karen Home

In a video that his PR team posted, the DP can be seen sobbing while keeping his eyes shut. He buries his face in his hands at one point.

Other churchgoers could be heard singing a worship tune in the background. Rachel, Ruto's wife, may also be seen singing along with the DP in the video.

Other Kenya Kwanza Alliance officials joined Bishop Mark Kariuki of Deliverance Church International to lead a prayer service.

The DP has previously been photographed crying in front of others.

The DP urged Kenyans to cast their votes for the right candidates in big numbers during the service.

“If you don’t show up to vote, you should not complain when wrong people are elected. This election is more of a spiritual battle than a political battle, and that is why we have all manner of things that are going on today,” Ruto said.

During the election campaign, he also urged peace across the nation.

“We believe in a united country and we want peace for our nation. I want to ask Kenyans from all walks of life, from both sides of the political divide to be peaceful so that we can work together as Kenyans and know that after the election, God’s will prevail and we will walk together as a united nation,” Ruto said.

Ruto and Raila Odinga of the Azimio la Umoja - One Kenya Coalition are the front-runners in the presidential contest, and the general election is seven days away. Prof. George Wajackoya (Roots Party) and David Waihiga Mwaure are the other two contenders (Agano Party).

President Uhuru Kenyatta has chosen Mr. Odinga as his preferred successor after having a falling out with Dr. Ruto.

President Kenyatta and his deputy have recently been verbally sparring in public as the election day approaches. The head of state has accused Ruto of being disloyal and power-hungry while the DP has been accusing the president of betrayal and being unappreciative.
