Kenya's political future seemed uncertain after NASA coalition remained adamant with their push for electoral justice through a swearing-in ceremony.
The opposition principals, led by Kalonzo Musyoka, NASA leader Raila Odinga's deputy in January 2018, issued a one-week ultimatum to the Jubilee government led by President Uhuru Kenyatta, to allow room for dialogue or the 'worst' happens.
The worst, according to Kalonzo would be a political clash and violence between supporters of Jubilee and NASA after he and Odinga were sworn-in as president and deputy president respectively, on January 30.
"Once the swearing-in is done, there will be no turning back. We will hold dialogue when Kenya is like Somalia or South Sudan. We don't want such things to happen," said Musyoka.
During People's Assembly coast chapter in Mombasa on Sunday January 21, 2018, Kalonzo maintained that dialogue should take place to avert eminent dangers of the planned swearing-in, which was based on the results of the August 8, 2017 general elections.
NASA principals said they worn in the election which was nullified by the Supreme Court on September 1, 2017, following their successful petition.
On his part, Odinga said he feared nothing and that he must be sworn-in for Kenyans to get electoral justice and their democratic space.
However, Uhuru was defiant on the dialogue calls despite a push from foreign envoys led by US ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec that the two protagonists should dialogue to avert plunging the country into a political crisis.
Odinga later held dialogue with Uhuru, on March 9, and signed peace and unity deal, excluding three NASA principals.
