We want a third election, according to our timetable by August 2018,” Raila said. In the three-minutes clip of the interview, Raila took a turnabout on his January 18 remarks during an interview on Voice of America (VOA). Raila however denied committing treason, telling Zeinab Badawi he did not recognise the legitimacy of President Uhuru Kenyatta. As for the convention, Raila said: “We are invoking the provisions of Article 1 of our Constitution. What we are doing now is setting up a people’s convention having taking oath as a people’s president”.
