Last Thursday, Mr Odinga and his National Super Alliance (Nasa) brigade had told their supporters to prepare for demonstrations in the week preceding the fresh poll. We have not said that at all,” Mr Odinga said on Tuesday in an interview with the BBC. After Mr Odinga won a September 1 ruling, the electoral commission gazetted October 26 as the day for the fresh poll after the apex court annulled President Kenyatta’s August 8 win. Two weeks to the polls, Mr Odinga dramatically withdrew, and called for a new election 90 days after fresh nominations. In the interview, Mr Odinga termed as an attempt to intimidate Kenyans, and which he said must be responded to, the recent cases of Jubilee politicians wearing military jungle uniforms and red berets.
