Contrary to the anticipation of many,NASA Principal Raila Odinga has asked his supporters not to demonstrate on the election day.
Instead he has asked them to stay at home and boycott the fresh elections scheduled for 26th of October 2017.
This happens after the NASA Principal withdrew from elections, citing illegitimacy, but the court cleared candidates who had conceded defeat.
Raila Odinga told a BBC interviewer that he was not calling for protests during repeat presidential elections scheduled for Thursday, but that he wanted supporters to stay at home and boycott the vote.
“We have not told people to protest on polling day. We have not said that at all. We have told people to stay away,” he said in an interview broadcast on Tuesday.
Odinga’s comments contradict repeated his previous public calls for protests on voting day.
