NASA leader Raila Odinga has been asked to quit politics immediately.
A group of elders drawn from Mombasa county has said quitting politics is the only option for Raila since he has refused to concede defeat.
The Mombasa County Council of Elders said on Tuesday evening that the country cannot be in a constant state of politicking.
They said that all Kenyans should accept the Supreme Court verdict that upheld the election of President Uhuru Kenyatta from the October 26 pollls.
"Kenya is bigger than individuals....Do not enter the race if you cannot accept losing," council chairman Mohamed Jahazi said during their press conference at
The council, which has been backing Uhuru, said the ruling should mark the end of election politics and the turn of focus to development.
"Kenya has been at a standstill with no investments, projects and life. Politics has dominated the country since the days of the ICC," Jahazi said.
"We thank Kenyans for being patient and maintaining peace. Those dissatisfied with the election should pray to God. If God does not want you, you will not get any seat."
The Opposition has, through its National Resistance Movement, been championing for civil disobedience, saying Jubilee Party leaders cannot keep taking Kenyans for granted.
