President Uhuru Kenyatta has said the Opposition is not focused on campaigning for the repeat polls.
Uhuru said that the NASA alliance is instead focussed on traversing the country insulting him and tarnishing his image for crimes he has not committed.
Speaking in Busia where he held a rally on Friday, the president exonerated himself from actions by the Jubilee MPs seeking to change election laws and added that NASA leader Raila Odinga was now using that as a reason to tarnish his name.
"Hii ndio kitu wabunge wanafanya. Sasa, tumefanya nini ya makosa? Mwingine anazunguka akinitusi ati mimi ni kifaranga cha computer," he said.
This loosely translates as:
This (changing the election laws) is what our MPs are working on. What mistake have we made? Someone is moving around insulting me as computer-generated chick," Kenyatta said.
His deputy William Ruto echoed the president's sentiments, adding that the opposition is not interested in going to the repeat elections.
Ruto said that NASA iis instead planning for chaos and bloodshed in the country.
"They have resorted to demonstrations to cause chaos and bloodshed, with The hope of making the country ungovernable so they can negotiate for a nusu mkate. But that won't happen," he said.
