Last week,  Mr Odinga ,while speaking in Kibera, announced that he will address his supporters on Monday 30th October regarding the way forward.

"Even in Gatundu there were no voters. Kenyans heeded NASA's call to boycott the elections and that is why on Monday I shall make a major announcement to tell all of you the way forward.

"I told you there are many ways to kill a cat and Jubilee is a wild cat that has eaten all the chicks," Mr Odinga conveyed.

The Opposition coalition, however, canceled the Monday presser and scheduled it for Tuesday 10:00 am.

President Kenyatta was on Monday evening declared the winner of the presidential election held on October 26.

Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati declared Kenyatta the winner after garnering 7,483,895 million votes, translating to 98.26% of the total votes cast.
