Immediate former Budalang'i MP Ababu Namwamba has dared Opposition chief Raila Odinga to bow out of the presidential race.

Speaking on Sunday, Namwamba challenged the former Prime Minister to drop out of the race if he is not prepared.

"If Raila is not ready he should write a letter to (IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati) to remove himself from the race so that we can swear in Uhuru Kenyatta," Namwamba said.

Mr Odinga, who is also the NASA presidential candidate has on several occasions threatened to boycott the forthcoming repeat polls after the nullification of President Uhuru Kenyatta's victory.

He has identified key electoral reforms that he wants undertaken before participating in the polls slated for October 26.
