Last year after the October 26 repeat polls, Raila called on supporters to boycott Safaricom, Bidco, Brookside and Haco industries products.

Speaking on Tuesday during the Labour Day celebrations, Raila stated that he was bitter about the poll outcome.

"I did that because I was bitter with the outcome of the elections. We have agreed to work together with my brother Uhuru Kenyatta for the betterment of the nation," Raila said.

"Big corporations are part and parcel of killing democracy in Kenya. We have the power and if they want to stifle our democracy, we can retaliate," Raila said.

He, however, announced that the boycott had been lifted due to the handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta on March 9.
