Opposition chief Raila Odinga’s decision to withdraw his candidature ahead of the October 26 polls was informed by Jubilee’s defiance in legislating new laws on the electoral process.

The National Super Alliance (NASA) leadership maintains that Raila’s move is meant to forestall Jubilee’s ploy to rig the repeat presidential polls by changing the ‘game’ midway.
