Raila has insisted that he will be sworn in as the people's president before the end of January.
He boycotted the October 26 repeat presidential election, which President Uhuru Kenyatta won.
Raila maintains that he won the August 8 election which was nullified by the Supreme Court after he filed a petition against Uhuru's victory.
