National Super Alliance leader (NASA) Raila Odinga has rejected a plea by 35 clergymen to withdraw pre-conditions ahead of the October 26 repeat presidential elections. Instead the Opposition leader added another requirement in his list of demands before the repeat poll. According to sources who attended the meeting at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi, Raila called for the unconditional withdrawal of the proposed amendments to electoral laws.
