National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has told his supporters not to participate in repeat presidential election set for Thursday.
Addressing thousands of supporters at Uhuru Park in Nairobi on Wednesday evening, Raila asked his supporters to boycott the election, convince friends not to participate and stay away from the polling stations.
The former Prime Minister further said that from Thursday, Nasa will transform to a resistance movement and champion for the a fresh presidential election within 90 days. "We ask those who believe in democracy not to participate in the sham election, hold prayers away from polling stations," he said.
"We are transforming the NASA coalition into a resistance movement. When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty. The only government that can be established is one elected through a free, fair and credible process," He said. "We shall mobilize all progressive forces to ensure that fresh, free and fair elections are held within 90 days."
He further called on supporters to remain calm and not attack their neighbors along on ethnic lines.
"Do not look at your brother or sister with suspicion, do not insult your neighbor. In this region, we are the only country standing for democracy, If Kenya succumbs to dictatorship, all Africa will be in danger," he said.
He also termed the other five presidential candidates in the race as flower girls of President Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto. "All the others (presidential candidates) are just flower girls. We will not be flower girls to Uhuru & Ruto."
He further said that Nasa will embark on a campaign to urge supporters to boycott products and services from companies that were beneficiaries of a bungled elections.

Uhuru Kenyatta's leadership is what has brought Kenya to this point.
Now, we have resistance movements to resist impunity and lawlessness.
I am with Raila.
Kenya is no longer a country.
And we shall happily bid you bye with vigelegele as Uhuru Nation accomplishes it's Vision 2030 and beyond and we shall be singing . "Anayependa Kenya ni yule mwenye kutenda haki kwa watu wote daima, hatutaki porojo Kenya Daima!. Mwenzangu Kenya kipenzi chetu hatutaiyacha milele daima ta la la la " ....as we bid you bye to migingo :-) And no your militia cannot operate in Aberdares or Mt Elgon , maybe M7 might lease you some land huko Buganda kingdom
Good-luck with that 2030 vision.
ati good luck, it has been happening but you were too busy spewing dislike of the current govt you wouldn't notice it if you at all know what the entails . Let me help you get updated ; http://www.vision2030.go.ke/
JanetK. I agree with you 100%. Amen!!!
ICC is in Kenya watching you Raila, Kalonzo, and Orengo. ICC is in Kenya monitoring every move you make. That is reason Kalonzo is hiding abroad in an attempt to avoid trouble. This is not a major but a miniscule blow of hot air from a dying horse. Very few in NASA will follow your resistance call. You and radical Orengo will be isolated and lonely. Kenya is bigger, larger and magnanimous that your ego. End of theatrics; end of Canaan; the flight just crashed. The freedom train is departing and those in NASA who wants to come aboard are welcome. At the end of it all, we are all brothers and sisters. Peace!
Kony part 11 :-) and now since this is not a political party, can it be deregistered?
I can see Savimbi welcoming fake Joshua, wondering why he pretended to be an opposition leader for decades...
NASA IS NOT A POLITICAL PARTY BUT A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION LIKE ISIS AND Al Qaeda AND MUST BE DEALT WITH LIKE SUCH. No DIFFERENCE between RAILA AND ALSHABAB LEADERS.
AFTER ELECTION THE GOVERNMENT NEED TO START INVESTIGATING AND ASSOCIATING NASA WITH ALSHABAB. THEY ARE WORKING HAND AND HAND TO TURN KENYA LIKE SOMALIA. RAILA IS A TERRORIST MASTERMIND JUST LIKE OSAMA BIN LANDEN
NASA WILL RESIST YOUR FAKE ELECTIONS AND FAKE GOVERNMENT UNTIL WHEN kENYA WILL SPLIT.
We have an island for you. Other Kenyans will stay in Kenya but you can go.
Says who? Go wipe your tears. Tunasonga mbele.
I watched raila read that statement and felt sorry for him. After almost 40yrs of causing havoc in this country, raila is reduced to a 72yr bitter and jobless boy .. how sad
Molasses? ??????
Is that the loudest FART raila could produce? Just pathetic
So what happens to watermelon Kalonzo? Is he going to the forest as well?
Looool .. kalojo cannot survive in the forest .. hakuna makeup, dye ya nywele na toilet paper
There are no forests in the Eastern province. I just wonder if there are any forests in Nyanza. These dudes may end up in mt. Kenya; that’s where you find forests.
@sokora, hio mate tema tafadhali. Mt.Kenya ni safi kama pamba, hututaki taka.
Somewhere along the way, the attempted coup failed or the participants got cold feet. In addition we now know that not having a quorum in SC invalidates Maragas powers at least temporarily. What a good time to not show up. This con Maraga + the other three have costed the Kenya economy ksh700 billion. Very irresponsible.
He finally got to know that numbers matter more than process...Just sayin
Hapa ndio Uhuru kenyatta Leadership imetufikisha.
As of tomorrow,Kenya is not a country.Its two countries in one.
I digress.
Continue digressing .. after you are done tell us how it feels to degress maybe we can join you
Mwenye macho aambiwi tazama.
If Uhuru did a good job as president, we would not be here.
Failure in leadership is what is happening in Kenya.
2 countries in one is still Kenya @Janetk. How can you afford to be soo stupid?
NRM is a terrorist movement and Government should treat it as such!!
How come Raila didn't first call a meeting for NASA principals- Kalonzo, Mdvd and Weta before making unilateral declaration of forming a guerrilla movement? Principals and their blind followers on a train to nowhere.
"From Thursday NASA will transform to a resistance movement". This are the last words of a dying mule. Actually the truth is as from today NASA has been turned into ash heap of history. Raila and his Axis has become relic of the. Very soon you will start seeing his cronies starting with Kalonzo distancing themselves from him. As Moses Kuria said his fate may end up been like that of his father-destitute toothless desperate old man living in the plains of Bondo
Anonymous, don't count on it yet, he is not done. That, my friend was just a baby fart. Huyu ni nyoka ana vichwa saba, one gets chopped and the other swings for you! The lesson to take forth is not to under estimate him. He has been rolling contingency plans one after the other! Mimi will tulia when this is all done and dusted, ndugu.
Kizee kina kichaa cha taka kugawanya wanainchi through bloodshed! Ashindwe kabisa.
Wahenga walisema...Mwenda tezi na omo marejeo ni ngamani.
@Mwakenya, I know I have heard this from Alikiba's song Mwana, but don't elewa what it means. Fafanua tafadhali.
see as follows from http://swahiliproverbs.afrst.illinois.edu/consequences.html .... One who goes from the bow to the stern must pass through the bilge. If you want to succeed you must also take the means, hardship, etc. But the proverb can also be translated thus: One who goes to bow and stern returns to the hold of the ship. After traveling abroad and meeting hardship, a person finally comes home to a secure place. All messages come to an important official in different ways.
Resistance movement. He is now a leader of militia group.International community need to be aware of the new terrorist group known as NASA in East Africa working with ISIS to overthrow the government of Kenya. After almost 40 years in politic, a 72 year old Raila Ondinga become a leader of a terrorist movement. How low can you go Mr Raila?
I have written an impunity application to Tobiko.Kanya's Savimbi must be delt with immediately FULLSTOP
Mwanakenya: Tafanua ndugu...
I guess after all this payukaring and irreducible minimums, He will end up home to roost..... Mwalimu hakunifunza vizuri maana ya msemo huo..... Mwenda tezi na omo
What happens to Akombe is she part of this Militia.
Apombe's silence is particularly loud. She may take on the role of the movement's spokeswoman and special ambassador to UN.
Typical example of maskini akipata matako hulia mbwata...because things have been going 'so well' for RAO since the elections were nullified, he had convinced himself that today he was 'winning' again. The big announcement was meant to be a 'celebration' of song and dance to parade the frenzy for his masters (read international bodies and donors) to see and thereafter join in the song and withdrawal of support and their observers to make credible the chaos in Kenya. Lakini Mungu si Adhumani....hali ugali... GOD IS GOOD... the forces of darkness will not prevail!
You know there is something wrong when an old man says on national tv: Chebukati ameshikwa ma##nde. We need to pray
Was going through Facebook and this one I had to share. "Samson Ogola's letter to Odinga;
Dear Hon. Raila Odinga,
I watched you turn NASA into a Resistance Movement (whatever that is) and I have no problem with that. In fact, you may call it Odinga Resistance Army...still it won't bother me.
Baba, my reservations touch on second part of your earthshaking announcement i.e boycotting products from government and Uhuruto supporters. Why? I'm glad you asked.
I, like thousands of Luos living Nairobi (your target audience)...
1. Live in rental houses owned by Uhuruto supporters...do we move out beginning tomorrow? If yes, where to?
2. Commute to and from work via Matatus (mostly owned by Okuyu). In the spirit of resisting Uhuruto and his supporters, do we start trekking from tomorrow or is the resistance going to provide Resistance Bus Services?
3. Is in the Juakali sector, where 70% of our clients are Uhuruto supporters. What should we do? Pack back to Nyanza or the resistance has enough clients to replace the ones we have.
4. Use household products and foods from companies and businesses owned by government and supporters of Uhuruto. What's the way forward jatelo? Is milk from Luo Nyanza Creameries ready for shipping? What about the Luo Unga Group, is the flour ready for shipping to Nairobi? Sir, where will we get bread...tell me the Gor Mahia bread is still in circulation.
I could go on and my Supreme Leader, but for now...just answer the 4 questions. And thanks in advance."
MYOPIC!
and he forgot about CBA bank ( owned by Uhuru &co, Safaricom products enemy numero uno, Equity Bank owned by a muranga native, KBL majority of shareholders = ......, etc, etc
What about Luos employed in Kikuyu owned business? Should they start quitting tomorrow? This is what happens when Raila has taught his folks to politic, riot and destroy but has not to produce. One businessman I know in Kenya has over 15 Luo employees and another has over 50! I don't think Raila thinks through what comes out of his mouth before he says it...Jews in America are only 4% of the population but yield so much power that any major presidential candidate has to have their approval. Luos should learn what real power means.
Witchdoctor/murderer Raila only made it official his past murderous activities in Kenya through his militia,Al Shabaab.It is an open secret that he is going to use the killer gang to terrorize voters in various parts of Kenya tomorrow's election.
@Maraga you amaze me every time. Maybe our good friends guest1 and Doreen will help to solve the problem.
Why are these jubidiots rejoicing kwani NASA is dissolving we have just morphed into a new organisation more like the last stage before we can spread our wings like a butterfly in a country free of this despots.It is a sham election ,a UK coronation aka birthday present .But for every action there is an equal reaction.A resistance movement does not have to recide in the forest.All will not be well ati because your kamwana has graduated from caretaker to president of central and some parts of rift valley maybe.The calm before the storm 43 tribes cannot be ruled by two tribes 50 years after independence.Mambo Bado.
Thank you for reminding us about the morphing. For the record, this is not the first time morphing has happened. Remember LDP? or NDP? or Kanu? or CORD? or Ford K? do need to go on. NRM is just a new acronym for an old idea. Join the winning team and you won't regret.
@Njai, thank you! I was beginning to think it's just me bothered by a grown arsed man using matusi in public and thought perhaps I am a prude! This horrible spectacle is beyond me. I can't imagine how our parents are reacting. I can imagine my mum akipiga nduru for such foul language or worse hiding under a bed!
The murderer at age 72 cannot effectively lead or organize a resistance movement.He is too old to master and apply the militia tactics of the movement.However,I think Ojinga just overthrew the idiots Mudavadi and Wetangui.The watermelon and the Kamba nation have been short changed by the murderer and therefore the watermelon and the other two Luhya crowns has been rendered useless,irrelevant and for Mudavadi jobless. Talk of a coup in the Resistance Movement and burning of bridges by one egocentric,greedy,selfish,murderer,inciter,deceiver,liar,cry baby,foolish,lord of poverty and nusu mkate chaser Ojinga my uncle.Bure Kabisa yeye mavi ya nguruwe!
Anonymous, lo, hiyo yako kali. Mavi ya nini? Me never seen mavi ya huyo mnyama, kwani si I thought nguruwe hula waste yake. Jamani. Hiyo tusi imeni sober up. Naenda lala and will wake up to a new dawn. Hopefully will wake up when this is all behind us! I promise to invite Guest1 for tea. Come to think of it, mtoto wangu can't tell the difference betweem a Luo and a Kikuyu, all he sees when we mingle is Kenyans. What does that tell us as grown ups? Hii chuki is inherited just like racism is. So lets reflect. Love you!
According to Hoffer(in true believer), there are three personalities of movement leaders " men of words" that Rao has been for the last 30 years. Then there is the "fanatic" that he has been since 2002. What the nasa movement need now is the third "practical men of action" to take over leadership from the fanatics, marking the end of the activism and taking opposition away from the fanatic's self-destructiveness. In all his outfits, the goals have been amorphous, that is why it has taken decades for his movements to get what other opposition movements have achieved in one election cycle. Where I come from there is a saying that ever-dependence on a single castor oil plant starved a naive dove(lost in translation).
Bure kabisa.Raila should retire peacefull in migingo islands but of course we will remember you as the one grandmaster who brought
multiparty system in Kenya.please Raila try to keep a good legacy otherwise if you try to force yourself to power your legacy will
end in a dustbin. God bless you my brother.
Taka taka mbele ya duka. You should have been on the ballots and urge your supporters to come out in drawls! I dare say you would have stood a better chance. Lakini, no, the evil in you wants to sabotage our livelihoods and what YOUR father and others fought so hard to achieve- UHURU! (no pun intended). Shame on you. Ushindwe kabisa!
I want to see you in the midst of those naive mindless supports when they get gassed for violence. Then I will know you have balls, not just to incite the poor and hopeless, who are due to your mindlessness.
