"We thank God for having taken us through a vigorous campaign moment," Raila said "The election process was peaceful, we hope that peace will prevail even after the election,"
"We are all part of one nation and we want Kenya to be even stronger going forward,"
Raila who was making his first address since the August 9th polls quoted peace message from St. Francis of Assisi, a renowned Italian Catholic Friar,
"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace, where there is hatred , let me sow love where thetre is injury, pardon, where there is doubt, faith....that is what St.Francis of Assisi said at that time," Raila explained.
The ODM boss correlated the word with the current Kenyan situation, with the country slowly easing back from the recently concluded General Election.
"This is what me as a person want to see happen, that I become an instrument to bring peace, to heal to unite and keep the hope alive," he added.
He also exuded confidence as the deadline for the announcement of the presidential results drew closer that Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya, will emerge victorius .
"We in the Azimio La Umoja said we want to take our people across River Jordan, to Canaan, we hope we will be able to enjy life in Canaan," Raila said "Peace & prosperity can only be found in Canaan
