Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula who is also a National Super Alliance (NASA) Co-principal explained that the former Premier was traveling to the US to explain to the Congress the political crisis in the country.

Earlier on,  Wetangula while addressing a rally in Kitutu Chache south constituency explained that Odinga’s speech to the Congress would majorly focus on the injustices during the August 8 election and the October 26 fresh presidential poll.

“Mr Kenyatta can have the crown but we will not let him have the power,” he stated.

The Minority Leader in the Senate also announced that he would also travel to the European Union later this week to champion the Opposition's course.

Meanwhile, NASA Leaders on Saturday announced that they will have a major demonstration sometime this week.

Siaya Senator James Orengo while addressing the media revealed that the resistance movement was scheduled to start their activities on Saturday afternoon with a public rally in Kibra.

Regarding questions as to whether NASA would challenge the Presidential results at the Supreme Court, Senator Orengo explained that the Opposition had formed a movement and would stick to that until the end.

“We have the National Resistance Movement and we have embarked on a journey that we are determined to go through to the end and the outcome will be seen.

“We don’t want to talk about a petition now, we have taken a position about the elections and we are going to pursue it to the end. We will give a series of our activities for the coming days later," Orengo told the Nation.
