Deputy President William Ruto has hit out at NASA leader Raila Odinga over his stance on the repeat presidential elections.
Ruto said that Raila is aware that he cannot win the polls and has resorted to using violent protests, something he said was equal to a terrorism.
"Anybody organising street riots where properties are destroyed over a democratic process and election officials being attacked, that is the language of terrorists," he said.
Ruto further said that Raila's tactic only fitted ways of a dictator, adding that the country will not allow that to happen to Kenya.
"That you plan violence in Kenya, that you want to prevent elections from happening, hiyo ni mbinu ya watu ma dictator na terrorists and it's unacceptable," he said.
The NASA leader has however remained adamant that the planned October 27 election will not take place in the country.
He has asked voters in his strongholds to boycott the event.
