Answer:

A. through nonviolent resistance

Explanation:

Jomo Kenyatta, whose original name was Kamau wa Ngengiro (Ichaweri, (Gatundu), October 20, 1892 - Mombasa, August 22, 1978), was a Kenyan politician, the first Kenyan citizen to be appointed prime minister (between 1963 and 1964) and president (between 1964 and 1978) after the independence of that country. He is considered the founding father of Kenya.

In December 1960 the state of emergency was lifted. In 1961, the two successor parties of the former KAU, the Kenya African National Union (KANU) and the Kenya African Democratic Union (KADU) demanded the release of Kenyatta. On May 14, 1960, Kenyatta was elected president of the KANU in absentia. He was finally released on August 21, 1961. The following year he joined the Legislative Council when a member handed him his seat, and contributed to the drafting of the new Constitution. His attempt to reunify the KAU failed.

In the May 1963 elections Kenyatta's KANU won 83 seats out of a total of 124. On June 1, Kenyatta became prime minister of the Kenyan autonomous government, and was known as mzee (a Swahili word meaning 'older man'). '). At this time, he asked the white settlers not to leave Kenya and supported national reconciliation. He retained the position of Prime Minister when independence was declared on December 12, 1963. In 1964, Kenya became a republic, and Kenyatta became head of state.
