NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga has hit out at President Uhuru Kenyatta, DP William Ruto and the Jubilee brigade, noting that the Opposition is not interested in a coalition government.

"We are not interested in a ‘nusu-mkate’ government. We want the whole thing and we know we won the presidential polls and we will win this election very early. We cannot share power with thieves," noted Raila.

The former Prime Minister also reiterated the coalition will not go to an election overseen by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

Raila insisted that senior staff in the electoral Commission must be prosecuted for election malpractices in the August 8 General Election.

"We will not go to the ballot presided by thieves. Our votes are sacred and cannot be kept by the same people who have stolen them on behalf of Jubilee," he said.

Raila also welcomed the Supreme Court ruling indicating that it was not only good for the country but the continent and the world.

"The ruling by the Supreme Court has shown that nobody will ever again strangle democracy in Kenya. The Court did justice to Kenya. They wanted to steal our victory but God refused. Electoral fraud has gone in this country for far too long," Raila stated.

The NASA leader spoke at a thanksgiving prayer service in Nairobi, alongside NASA Co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Musalia Mudavadi and other leaders.
