National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga has renewed calls for a fresh presidential election, stating that it is the only way to save the situation Kenya has found itself in.
Speaking during an interview with British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on Tuesday, Odinga urged the international community to be objective on how it views the political situation in the country, which he described as a circus.
"The only solution to this circus is fresh election," Raila noted.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader further termed the repeat presidential election won by President Kenyatta as a “coup” and lamented that the Jubilee administration is taking the country back to the dark era.
"That purported election was a coup de tat and a result of electoral autocracy. Kenyans are suffering under this corrupt and dictatorial regime because of the flawed electoral process that we must change," Raila said.
He said President Kenyatta has continued to violate the Constitution by arresting and detaining opposition leaders and muzzling the media, even when he knows that he illegally took over government.
Odinga maintained that he was the winner of August 8th, 2017 presidential poll, which was cancelled by the Supreme Court.
Speaking in Nairobi on Wednesday, Nasa people's assembly coordinating committee said the coalition will push for a fresh presidential poll before August this year.
"The people's assembly will culminate into a presidential election not later than August 2018," David Ndii, chair of the coordinating committee, said.
Last week Odinga took oath as people's president at a ceremony held at Uhuru Park grounds in Nairobi.

Why, really do you need new elections if you are the peoples president? How do you claim coup if you made a personal decision to withdraw from the Oct 26 contest? When you went to court following August 8 contest, why didn't you request a recount of the non-electronic votes? Wacha mchezo! Eat a hot dog! It might give you sanity.
You are already the "president "Are you going to resign. You don't believe y r the ,give us a break.
Just sit there and wait for another election... in 2022.
You are just like a jerk full of problems. Honestly, despite the corruption that was happening, I miss Moi times because nothing like this could be happening. This is too much.
Raila- we are tired of seeing your ugly face in the news all the time. No wonder Africa has been called a “Shit Hole” country because of someone like you. Grown up men that can’t think!!!
GROWN UP MEN THAT ARE POWER HUNGRY AND JUST THINK OF THEM INSTEAD OF THE WELL-BEING OF KENYANS.
Men in general- advice your fellow men to stop this *shit*.
Yeah. Moi would have unleashed fimbo ya nyayo kitamboo!! Raila would be six feet bila testicles. Moi didn't play.
He had dementia
confused as ever. You are the president and you told us you are forming your cabinet. Fake Joshua your dementia is getting out of control
Thought this lunatic swore himself in already? Note how selfish he is, no mention of Miguna x2, but self centered interest! Speaking of which, in their latest gathering, NASA swore a tooth for a tooth, government arrest, they arrest, they form a cabinet, so will they. So, who have they deported since Miguna x 2 was shooed off to Canada?
Raila is a problem we must learn to ignore and live with. He has already sworn himself but still not contented, wants another election?
Where is NRM’s general on mwakilishi @ Guest1 or Doreen to clarify this. Raila was sworn in already and we are waiting for his acceptance speech, so he said. Halafu uchaguzi tena?? He was seeking attention and when he failed to get it, now this. When l say Raila is in dementia’s early stages, l receive insults. Haya.....
One can only say .... WTF!
The president is still not satisfied haki huyu ni wazimu tumpeleke mathare for good
@sukari the swearing in was just an attention seeking gimick that badly flopped. Raila has no time M*2 after what the Canadian said about him in that book. Raila was even praying that the Canadian's turbo charged mouth is silenced once and for all.
The president wants to be president. How delusional can RAO get???
"...... which he described as a circus." The only circus of lunatic clowns is Raila and his sychophant morons who worship him like their eartthen god. Yep, me too wish it was Mze Kenyatta's or Moi's era --- then, this crazy looney would have gotten exactly what he deserves; i.e, already rotting six feet under. For now, my take is that, if TV, print and radio media in Kenya were to exercise self-restraint and totally ignore last tantrums of this dying crazy horse, this madman and his Odinga Demonic Morons would leave Kenyans alone to enjoy their lives, liberty and pursuit of happiness without his insanely outlandish outbursts.
Yes I guess Kenya should have presidential elections every month. hey may be every week till this mad man wins and he gets the real swearing in. I s Mathare hospital full ????
May be Kenya should have elections every month, hey may be every week till this mad man wins and is properly sworn in, sio ile utoto yake kunjiapicha ati Uhuru Park. Is Mathare Hospital full ?????
githee nikiambia uguruki
