"Kenyans held a peaceful election, which has been witnessed around the world. I want us to remain peaceful. Patience is key, we advised Odinga to follow the court route, he agreed. William Ruto also agreed to accept the court's findings. If they have already accepted, we will also accept the results," Atwoli said.

"The one who will take after all things, tell us this is the President, we will accept him for our peace, and Kenya will move on."

The COTU chief also assured workers across the country that peace would prevail throughout the country during the process as the government had put in place contingency plans.

"I want to thank the government because we were afraid that if this thing continued for a long time, many workers would lose their jobs. But Joseph Kinyua defended the workers that there is peace, people should go back to work and now everything is normal," he said.
