The National Super Alliance (Nasa) is today expected to swear-in Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka as the people's president and deputy respectively.
The ceremony, Nasa said, will be held at Uhuru Park, Nairobi from 8 am.
This is despite the county government saying the park will be closed indefinitely for renovations.
Nairobi Police Commandant Japheth Koome had warned Nasa against pushing on with the event, which he termed as illegal.
