Opposition leader Raila Odinga has reaffirmed that NASA will not take part in the election as that "would reduce them to flower girls".
Raila said this during a rally in Kitui town on Tuesday where he asked his supporters to "stay at home and not be part of the election mockery".

The opposition team said they will stay away from the election pitting Raila against President Uhuru Kenyatta and five others.
They said this is because their 12-point irreducible minimums to IEBC are yet to be met.
"The election will be a wedding for Uhuru and DP William Ruto. We cannot allow ourselves to be reduced to flower girls," Raila said.
The rally, also attended by co-principals Musalia Mudavadi (ANC) and Moses Wetang'ula (Ford Kenya), was hosted by Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu.
Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho, Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua, former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama and several MPs were present.
Raila said the remarks of IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati and former commissioner Roselyn Akombe have made them jittery over the poll.
The IEBC chair last week said he could not guarantee the country a free, fair, and credible election owing to political interference.
And the Opposition said the situation where commissioners take orders from State House cannot assure them of a fair poll process.
"In our analysis of the annulled election, our IT experts said we beat Uhuru on August 8. We were robbed of our win by crafty IEBC officials," Raila said.
"The NASA IT experts established that I had won with 8.5 million votes over Uhuru's 7.2 votes."
The Opposition leader said he regrets that the impasse has delayed implementation of projects he had promised Kenyans.
"They have delayed our plans which we had promised to actualise after taking over leadership."
The NASA fraternity promised free education from nursery to secondary school, cash transfer for the elderly and single mothers and industrial parks.
