In his speech after taking the oath of office, President Uhuru Kenyatta told those who did not vote for him that their dreams were still valid in his government despite not being their leader of choice as opposed to National Super Alliance's Raila Odinga who vied against him.

"The election was not a contest between a good dream and a bad dream; it was a contest between two competing visions. I believe that those who voted for me chose the better vision. This, however, does not invalidate the aspirations of those who did not vote for me,

"I undertake to be the custodian of the dreams of all, and to be the keeper of the aspirations of those who voted for me and those who did not. I will be the President of all. And I will devote my time and energy to build bridges to unite and bring prosperity to all Kenyans," said President Uhuru in part.

The October 26 repeat presidential election brought with it sharp divisions in Kenya along ethnic lines.

t boiled down to hostility between the two tribes that form the major foundation of the Jubilee Party and the several others that form NASA's foundation..

Tribalism got to the point where secession calls were made so that the two tribes supporting Jubilee could be given their own country and the rest rule themselves without being ruled by the same two communities since independence.

Tribalism also played a role when the opposition called on supporters to boycott the disputed October 26 election in which President Uhuru won.

Low voter turn out was witnessed in opposition led counties and in some Western and Luo Nyanza counties, no voting took place at all.
