William Ruto has congratulated President Uhuru and NASA leader Raila Odinga after he missed the crucial meeting.

The Deputy President has congratulated the two leaders for being ‘statesmen’.

He acknowledged that Kenyatta and Odinga stood for the country, against animosity and separation among Kenyans.

"Congratulations PRES.UHURU & RAILA for being statesmen. You have risen to the moment for kenya and against hate, negative ethnicity and division. The unity,stability and transformation of kenya supersedes all other partisan interests. Wangwana mubarikiwe mpaka mshangae," Ruto tweeted.

Kenyans were impressed with Deputy President’s message and joined him in preaching for peace.

The Head of State and the former premier's  surprise move came following months of deep political divisions.

The country was thrown into a dilemma after the 26th controversial poll.

Political analysts had predicted doom for Kenya if the two leaders did not hold a dialogue to unite and propel the country foward.
