National Super Alliance (Nasa) co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetang'ula and Musalia Mudavadi have released a statement after skipping the swearing in ceremony of Raila held on Tuesday at Uhuru Park grounds in Nairobi.

In a brief statement signed by Kalonzo, Wetang'ula and Mudavadi, the three leaders appeared to confirm that there was no agreement among them on the inauguration ceremony.

"Yesterday, 29 January 2018 as the four NASA Principals, we had a lengthy meeting where we revisited the controversial Election of 8th August 2018, which was nullified by the Supreme Court, as well as the boycotted election of 26 October 2017 and our reform agenda and in particular electoral justice, among other important issues," the statement read in part.

"We agreed to meet again this morning. However, due to circumstances beyond our comprehension and control, the four of us did not assemble as planned," the statement added.

Odinga was sworn in as people's president in the oath administered by Ruaraka Member of Parliament TJ Kajwang' and former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna.

“I Raila Amolo Odinga in full realisation of the high calling [to] assume the office of the people’s president of the Republic of Kenya, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the people and the Republic of Kenya; that I will preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of Kenya, as by law established, and all other laws of the Republic as adopted by the people of Kenya; that i will protect and uphold sovereignty, integrity and dignity of the people of Kenya. So help me God," Raila recited the oath in front of thousands of supporters who thronged Uhuru Park.
