Raila told his supporters not to expect any dialogue, saying time had run out for such talks. Instead, he said, Kenyans should wait for his word on October 25 - the eve of the now controversial repeat presidential elections - when he says he will make a big announcement on the next course of action.

Speaking during the burial of his brother-in-law Caleb Yaya in Usenge town, Siaya County, yesterday, Raila said President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto were not ready for dialogue and insisted there will be no election on Thursday.
