Today, Tuesday, August 15, marks a significant milestone: one year since former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati announced William Ruto as the fifth president of Kenya.
On August 15, 2022, the stage was set at Bomas of Kenya to unveil the presidential election results, and it was the presence of a choir that played an indispensable role in alleviating national tensions.
As the entire country held its breath, eagerly anticipating the IEBC results at Bomas of Kenya, the choir stood as a beacon of comfort.
Today, NTV journalist James Smart took to Twitter to reflect on the choir’s remarkable impact during that pivotal moment.
“A time like this, Bomas choir started what would be a six-hour singing marathon calming the nerves of a nation waiting for the presidential results,” he wrote.
This anniversary serves as a poignant reminder of the uniting power of music, which transcends political divisions and offers solace during times of uncertainty. The memory of the choir’s resonant melodies continues to remind us of the vital role it played in fostering a sense of unity and calm amid the anticipation and excitement of that historic day.
