In his speech at Chatham House, Raila said he would not sign Form24A as the letter he submitted before the electoral commission was enough to withdraw his candidature from the race.

"Am officially out of the election, no need to sign form 24A," he told the audience.

Later, opposition protesters joined their counterparts at Chatham House where they engaged in a "show of supremacy".

Raila supporters demanded for free and fair elections while chanting "Uhuru must go".

Jubilee demonstrators on the other hand carried placards branding Raila the "lord of poverty", while others asked him to return to Kenya and face the electorate.

    This are kikuyu's in UK who have fled poverty and bad governance in kenya to seek economic refugee in and just because they believe in ethnic tribalism rooting back from ancestral Nyumba ya mumbo and who don't believe in Democracy accept thieving only.Ifeel sorry for them because having lived in a most democratic society such as UK and you still believe in ethnic tribalism then you might as well as die with udhamaki in your grave.

    Spreading hate all over town? It is Nyumba ya Mumbi, not udhamaki but Uthamaki. Use that for password you seem fascinated by Gikuyu. Its a national language. I mean people just learn it. Awesome. Some have travelled to UK for sight seeing, some live there, others just go to shop there. Assumptions are not wise at all. For example, do you live by the lake, do you smell fish all the time even after taking a shower? See, that is not pleasant at all is it? Treat everyone with respect.
