National Super Alliance leader Raila Odinga on Monday skipped several campaign rallies in Kitui West.
Odinga was scheduled to take part in the campaigns ahead of the by-election in the constituency.
Sources close to Mr. Odinga said the former prime minister failed to attend the rallies due to “bad weather.”
Raila's no-show comes just a few days after Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka said that NASA was intact and Raila was still part of the team.
Raila was highly expected to join his coalition co-principals in traversing the constituency in solidarity with Wiper Democratic Movement party flag bearer Edith Nyenze.

She will face off with four other contestants in the race, namely; Elijah Muimi Kilonzi (Chama Cha Muungano), Robert Mutiso Lelli (NARC Kenya), Dennis Muli Mulwa (Independent) and Dr. Frida Nyiva Mutui (Kenya National Congress.)
