Opposition Leader Raila Odinga has announced his plans for the next week after canceling a series of National Super Alliance (NASA) rallies that were scheduled to happen at the Coast over the weekend.
Through his Spokesman Dennis Onyango, Mr Odinga stated that he will be visiting the United Kingdom (UK) this coming week.
“He is traveling to the UK. He is supposed to deliver a lecture at Chatham House, The Royal Institute of International Affairs in the UK,” Mr Onyango told the Nation.

Regarding the cancellation of the campaigns, The Spokesman explained that the rallies were rescheduled because they coincided with President Uhuru Kenyatta’s trip to the region.
“We want them to finish their rallies first before we go there,” Onyango stated.
On Friday, NASA canceled a series of rallies at the Coast that were scheduled for the weekend.
The Opposition led by Mr Odinga and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka were scheduled to address roadside rallies at Akamba Handicraft, Bangladesh and Tudor before heading to Frere Town for a big rally.
The leaders were on Sunday supposed to address NASA supporters in Likoni and Kombani before ending the tour with a major rally in Ukunda.
Speaking to Kenyans.co.ke, Matuga MP Hassan Mwanyoha explained the cancellation, stating: "The campaign tour was sudden.It's just because of planning issues."
He, however, assured NASA supporters that other plans were in place to run a major campaign tour in the area very soon.
