The opposition leader, who withdrew from the repeat election, asked his supporters to assemble and hold peaceful prayers away from polling stations or stay at home altogether as other Kenyans participate in what he termed as a “sham presidential election”.

“Do not participate in any way in the sham elections,” he declared.

He cautioned his supporters not to stage street demos tomorrow, warning that the government has given the police  a “shoot-to-kill” order.

“We are aware that the blood-thirsty regime is using every chance to massacre our people,” he said.
