Members of the clergy in Naivasha have said they will shame and name politicians spewing hate and incitement.
They said they will ask their congregants to reject such leaders.
The clergy said the 2007-08 post-election violence that rocked the town started similarly.
They said the violence led to death, displacement of people and loss of property.
In a joint statement on Wednesday, the clergy from different churches termed the violence as an eye-opener and they would not allow the town to go the same way.
Bishop Isaac Ngugi said they will name and shame them for the sake of peace in Naivasha.
Ngugi from the Evangelical Church in Karagita called on politicians to respect their rivals.
He said the exchange of cash ahead of the elections by politicians had started and it was a recipe for chaos.
The cleric said many families were yet to fully recover from the chaos.
“We are calling on our faithful to be wary of politicians who are using cash to sell their manifestos, they use the money to incite the youths,” he said.
This was echoed by Celestine Kioko who said women and children were the most affected by violence every election year.
The cleric said they were living in fear due to utterances by some of the politicians.
“In 2007 we lost many of our children to the violence and we shall not sit back as some politicians misuse the youths for their gains,” she said.
Karagita Mosque Imam Ramadhan Omulama called on the electorates not to vote blindly but to go for leaders who would serve them better.
“Some people are ferried to other areas to go vote there and this is wrong as they cannot complain of bad leadership in the future,” he said.
Pastor Rodgers Motari called on the electorate not to be misled by tribal and political affiliations but to go for development conscious leaders.
