The National Super Alliance (NASA) on Saturday dismissed claims that they were planning to inaugurate Opposition Leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday.
Addressing the media on Saturday, NASA leader Musalia Mudavadi explained that the coalition will not hold a parallel swearing-in ceremony but would only conduct a memorial in honor of their dead supporters.
The Amani National Congress leader also clarified that the People's assembly they are advocating for will not be a parallel government adding that it was only a process of airing the political agenda.

"As People’s Assembly, we will protect our county governments from predations of the Jubilee administration that are already manifest. We will reflect on the politics of exclusion and ethnic dominance,” he said.
According to Mudavadi, the country is divided into two categories; those who are ready to ready to resist the Jubilee government and those who are prepared to accept dictatorship.
“Jubilee administration’s mission is to take us back into a centralised dictatorship, back to human rights abuses, repression of political rights, exclusion and economic marginalisation of regions and communities which refuse to toe the line.
“This usurpation of power is the culmination of a determined effort by the Jubilee administration to dismantle the new Constitution," he explained.
He affirmed the coalition's stand that it did not recognise President Uhuru Kenyatta adding that the alliance only acknowledged Mr Odinga as the president with Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka as his deputy.
Mudavadi mentioned that added the Opposition will see to it that the two assume office accordingly.

"We do not recognise the October 26 presidential election and to declare that as per Article 1 of the Constitution we have not individually or collectively delegated our sovereignty to Uhuru Kenyatta," Mudavadi stated.
He, however, noted that all their moves will be anchored on the constitution.
