Should NASA leader Raila Odinga go ahead with swearing-in as 'people's president'?

I do not fathom any justifiable legal,  political, logical or humanitarian reason why he should back down from the plan. His presidency is an idea whose time has come. It is unstoppable. Ideally, Odinga is not power-hungry and his swearing in is aimed at pushing for electoral reforms. 

As a country, we cannot vaunt about democracy when only a few individuals with resources manipulate the will of millions. NASA countless times agitated for dialogue but the ruling party was adamant they would only agree to a round-table after the October 26 election. It is only logical that Odinga be sworn in so that the discourse on moving the country forward be between equals.
