Deputy President William Ruto on Tuesday told NASA leaders to stop inciting Kenyans not to vote in next week's rerun.
He said that Kenyans have a democratic right to the polls adding that boycott threats cannot stop the polls from going on as planned.
NASA presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga earlier said he will not participate in the election on grounds IEBC has not instituted reforms as they demanded.
The DP told Raila to stay at home saying it is also his democratic right to abandon the election.
Ruto spoke at Etago in South Mugirango constituency where he wooed residents to vote for Jubilee citing the administration's development record.
"Kenyans have a democratic right to vote so those trying to incite them to boycott have sensed defeat," Ruto said.
He said free primary and secondary education will be implemented since Parliament approved Sh 25 billion to actualise the progarmme.
The DP thanked Kisii residents for voting for Jubilee in the nullified August 8 elections urging them to turnout in large numbers on October 26.
He was accompanied by Acting Interior CS Fred Matiang’i, PS Susan Mochache, Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, and Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen.
MPs Richard Tong’i (Nyaribari Chache), Jimmy Angbwenyi (Kitutu Chache North), Ezekeil Machogu(Nyaribari Masaba), and John Oroo (Bonchari) were present.
Nominated Senator Millicent Omanga, PDP leader Omingo Magara, former Kisii Senator Chris Obure and former CIC chair Charles Nyachae were also there.
Ruto reminded Raila that if President Uhuru Kenyatta has no powers to stop the repeat polls, then who is he (ODM leader) to do so.
"Odinga must respect the constitution because the Supreme Court ruled that the election must be conducted within 60 days. He is the one who moved to court."
He called on Kenyans to maintain peace ahead of the repeat poll because the same is paramount to growth.
Matiang'i assured Kenyans of their safety before and after the polls saying that the government will not tolerate people who incite citizens to cause chaos.
Sonko and Murkomen said that votes for Jubilee in the region have increased by 15 per cent compared to 2013.
"There is no way and individual can decide for 40 million Kenyans. We want to tell him that the polls will go as scheduled whether he is there or not," Sonko said.
