Azimio la Umoja One Kenya presidential candidate Raila Odinga has scoffed at his opponent for telling him to drop off the August 9 elections if he has sensed defeat.

Addressing a rally in Kianyaga in Kirinyaga County yesterday, Mr Odinga wondered: “How am I supposed to quit a race in which I am leading with up to 65 per cent and projected to hit 70 per cent by the election date?”
