Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Vihiga Deputy Governor Wilberforce Kitiezo Savula used a church gathering to rally residents to take an active role in the country’s democratic processes. They framed voter registration, peace, and civic duty as central to Kenya’s stability ahead of future elections.
Speaking at a Pentecostal Assemblies of God (PAG) Church convention in Vihiga County, the two leaders addressed congregants drawn from across the region, blending religious themes with political messaging.
They encouraged eligible citizens, particularly young people, to register as voters, saying participation was the surest way to influence leadership and public policy.
Mudavadi told the congregation that peaceful engagement in democratic processes was a responsibility that extended beyond election periods.
He argued that national cohesion depended on citizens respecting institutions, embracing dialogue and rejecting violence, adding that churches played a critical role in shaping values that support unity and accountability.
Without naming individuals, the Prime Cabinet Secretary took aim at sections of the opposition, accusing them of promoting divisive politics and offering criticism without viable alternatives.
He said constant agitation and confrontational rhetoric risked distracting the country from development priorities and undermining public confidence in governance.

Deputy Governor Savula echoed the call for calm and participation, urging residents of Vihiga to lead by example.
He said the county had a history of political maturity and should continue to demonstrate that differences could be managed through lawful and peaceful means.
Savula also asked religious leaders to keep encouraging civic education within their congregations.
The leaders linked voter registration to broader development goals, arguing that leaders elected through credible and inclusive processes were better placed to deliver services.
Mudavadi said wananchi should not disengage out of frustration but instead use constitutional avenues to demand accountability and improved service delivery.
While church platforms have traditionally been sensitive spaces for political messaging, the convention provided an opportunity for leaders to speak to a wide audience on issues they said cut across party lines.
At the same time, the criticism of the opposition highlighted the increasingly sharp tone of national politics.
Mudavadi maintained that constructive engagement, rather than perpetual campaigning, was necessary for economic recovery and social stability.
The convention concluded with prayers for peace, unity and responsible leadership, reinforcing the message that civic responsibility begins with individual choices and collective restraint.
