Deputy President William Ruto has urged NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga to allow Kenyans vote for their preferred candidate during the October, 17 polls.
Ruto speaking on Thursday in Vihiga county said Raila is scared of losing to Uhuru in the repeat election.
"Raila is asking Kenyans specifically his supporters not to participate in repeat election scheduled for October 17. He is scared of losing", Ruto said.
He accused Raila of using calls on reforms in the IEBC to boycott polls.
"He is using threats to stop the election because he doesn't want to lose. This time we will defeat him with bigger margin”, he added.
DP denied claims that Opposition has numbers to beat Jubilee.
"If they have numbers, then why are they scared of a repeat election. Kenyans will make their own decisions on the leaders they want. After all, it’s God who decides on leaders through elections,” DP Ruto added.
