He further urged leaders to accept defeat honourably and work with the chosen leaders.

“On behalf of all Orthodox Churches and all christians, we want to request all the leaders to embrace unity and peace and treat each other like a brother and sister,” said Kongai.

The church also joined the nation in mourning former President Mwai Kibaki as they condoled with the family and friends.
