National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has told BBC that he will not call his supporters to the streets on Thursday which is the presidential election day.
Speaking during an interview on Tuesday, Odinga instructed his supporters to keep away from polling stations and not to demonstrate.
Last week, the Opposition leader stated that he would call for the 'mother of all demonstrations' on election day in protest of the fresh presidential poll.

"We have not told people to demonstrate on polling day. We have not said that at all.
"We have told people to stay away," stated Odinga on Tuesday.
"You see, there are two forces here, those who want to go with the sham elections irrespective of the consequences and those who say it is not right to do.
"Jubilee supporters are trying to militarise our politics in our country. You find even women politicians wearing military jungle attire basically intimidating the electorate in this country.
"Picketing, striking and peaceful demonstrations are guaranteed by our constitution," added the former Prime Minister.
Odinga has been campaigning against the October 26 poll date and urged supporters to boycott the election.
He claims the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) cannot deliver a credible poll on the specific date.
The NASA leader is on Wednesday expected to make a major announcement giving the way forward regarding the repeat presidential election.
State House, however, remains adamant that the elections will take place and has deployed its heaviest security operation to man the elections.
