National Super Alliance (NASA) Presidential candidate, Raila Amolo Odinga has asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to stop threatening him by reminding him that he is the head of state.
Raila, who spoke on Saturday in Kajiado, said that Uhuru has no moral authority to lecture him because he also represents a huge population in the nation.
This comes after the Supreme Court nullified Presidential election results following a petition from the opposition.
"I want to tell Uhuru to stop threatening me that he is the President. I want to remind him that his powers ended on August 8. He is not Kenya as I also represent many Kenyans and we are not in a dictatorial state," he stressed, as quoted by Standard.
Raila also maintained that he will not take part in the repeat polls if Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) CEO Ezra Chiloba does not leave office before the D-day.
"We cannot be forced by Uhuru and Ruto into going into the poll if our conditions will not have been met. IEBC messed us up and we cannot entrust our votes to them again," Raila said.
Both Uhuru and Raila have hit campaign trails ahead of the fresh election.
