The former Prime Minister's address is highly anticipated as he will cover a myriad of subjects including his decision to withdraw his candidature from the October 26 repeat poll.
He is also expected to clarify on NASA's push for IEBC reforms and give suggestions for the next government on institutional reforms and democracy in Kenya.
Thereafter, the NASA leader will engage in a public discussion chaired by the Chatham House Head of Africa Programme, Area Studies and International Law and Research Director, Dr Alex Vines OBE.
This will be the third time Mr Odinga has addressed the delegation at Chatham House, most recently he made the address in August 2016.
