Jubilee will place Opposition Raila Odinga under house arrest if he tries to block
elections on October 17, Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has threatened.
Raila had
to hold the fresh poll on October 17 saying the date was set by Jubilee.
He said
the election cannot be held before all the terms and conditions NASA has set are addressed.
Raila will face Jubilee Party chief President Uhuru Kenyatta. They are both back on the campaign trail and have until October 15 to convince Kenyans to elect them.
In his Facebook post on Sunday, Kuria said
they are prepared for the repeat presidential poll and that nothing can stop them.
"If Raila tries to stop us from voting on October 17, we will place him under house arrest just the way we did Jaramogi [Oginga Odinga]."
Kuria has appeared in court several times over his utterances. On September 11, he was apprehended
and taken to Pangani police Station over hate remarks.
In a Facebook post on September 5, the MP said they were ready for another election but that they will hunt people who did not elect Uhuru.

wants to cause violence to frustrate the
re-run. Other leaders accused the Opposition of
