The president while on his say two vote hunting mission in Mombasa said his camp has information that the opposition leader is planning to pull out of the race and wondered what reason would prompt the move given close to Sh 12Billion had been spent into the poll preparations.
"If you don't want elections, withdraw and let the country move forward.We can not allow you to keep the country in suspense," said Uhuru.
He said the country is now tired of continued politicking and that a time had come for the nation to get over the events so as to have normalcy.
The president's remarks come at a time when Mr Odinga is expected to fly out of the country with pundits arguing this was an indication that Mr Odinga's camp is set to skip the elections unless their demands are met.
Demonstrations by the opposition supporters have gained currency in various parts of the country demanding that the commission secretariat paves way for elections and that proposed amendments to election laws are withdrawn.
