Opposition coalition NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga has challenged the electoral body IEBC to ensure free, fair and credible polls during the August general elections.
"We hope will not go to court to contest and hope the commission will be fair," he said.
Speaking on Sunday shortly after presenting his nomination papers to the agency, the former Prime Minister further exuded confidence in winning the presidency in his fourth attempt.
"We hope that this time victory will not be denied again Kenyans can not take a raw victory plus we also see that it is a contest. If we loose fairly we will accept and we will do our best as the NASA coalition and we are confident that we will win," he said.
"This is a very defining moment and I am very happy to be here. This is a very important occasion, with me i have my running mate and NASA pentagon team plus my wife madam Ida," he added.
During the event, IEBC Chair Wafula Chebukati gave Mr Odinga the nod to vie for the country's top seat having verified the ODM Party leader's papers.
"Having reviewed the documents presented before me and his running mate, they have met the qualifications to vie for the elections," he said.
