[Photo/ODM]As the new year 2018 starts, opposition's National Super Alliance (Nasa) has a lot in store for the Jubilee government and the country at large.Opposition leader Raila Odinga has continuously maintained he will not settle until President Uhuru Kenyatta' administration succumbs to electoral reforms and future free and fair elections.In bid to push the Jubilee government to accept electoral reforms after the disputed and controversial presidential elections in 2017, Odinga said he would be sworn in as president alongside Kalonzo Musyoka as his deputy early 2018.The duo have however, issued Uhuru with a dialogue condition as an alternative of the swearing in over the said issues.During his end and new year message on December 31, Odinga said the coalition would unveil its programme that would help the country attain democracy during the firs week of 2018.This would include peaceful street protests and civil disobedience."Within the first week of the New Year, we will unveil a program for civil disobedience, peaceful protests, non-cooperation with and resistance to an illegitimate regime in addition to People’s Assemblies," said Odinga in a statement.NASA demonstrations in 2017 led to killings of several lives following police confrontations. After postmortem, government pathologist Johansen Oduor revealed they died of gunshot wounds."NASA’s position remains that until electoral justice is achieved, we will not recognize the Jubilee regime and the so-called election of Uhuru Kenyatta as President," read Odinga's statement in conclusion.
