The Nasa leaders, led by presidential candidate Raila Odinga, called for a huge turnout on election day on Tuesday, but urged vigilance on the vote count. Mr Odinga reiterated his controversial call for “guarding” votes, which the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has argued should be left to accredited party agents. Nasa co-principals Musalia Mudavadi and Kalonzo Musyoka said the killing of Mr Msando epitomised “the ugly face of political assassinations”. Mr Mudavadi and Mr Moses Wetang’ula called for open and speedy investigations into the killing so that Kenyans can know the truth. One team that was led by Mr Mudavadi toured Magenche, Etago and Suneka before converging with Mr Odinga’s team at Gusii stadium for the main rally.
