Uhuru was expected to visit Nyahururu in Laikipia, after attending prayer at Subukia Shrines in Nakuru, but left without making the trip.
"I wish to start by apologising and seeking forgiveness because the other day we were to visit you but only reached Shamata (Nyandarua). Time ran out and we could not make it," the President said on Sunday.
He said even though he and DP William Ruto were unable to visit the area, they decided to find time to address residents.
Uhuru thanked residents for voting for Jubilee on August 8 and asked them to come out in large numbers for the October 26 repeat poll.
Laikipia Governor Nderitu Mureithi disappointed residents by announcing that the President would not be coming.
"We want [Uhuru] to find time to come and apologise, and come early in the day. We want to see and listen to him," a resident said.
But they maintained they will vote for Uhuru in the repeat election.
This week, Uhuru will take campaigns to 17 counties.
