NASA leader Raila Odinga has noted he is not "power-hungry" but part of a team that will end electoral rigging in Africa.
Raila insisted that the Opposition and its supporters will not allow President Uhuru Kenyatta's October 26 re-election to stand.
This, he said, is on grounds it sets a bad example for future generations.
"Raila Odinga is not power-hungry. I want to see democracy properly established in our country. Currently, we have autocracy where elections are just a ritual incumbents do after every five years,"
he said an in interview with Al Jazeera on Sunday.
"We want to be the people who will do away with rigging in Africa to show Africans deserve a better standard than."
The ODM leader warned that allowing Uhuru's re-election through a "sham" poll will derail Kenya's vibrant democracy and promoting electoral autocracy.
"Next time there will be complete voter apathy in this country...No Kenyan will turn up to vote. There are countries where only 10 or 20 per cent of people turned up to vote and the president got 98 per cent of the vote because he was running alone."
Raila equated this to the re-run election in which Uhuru garnered 98 per cent votes with a 38 per cent turnout.
"Is this how elections should be held in Africa? Why should Africa be judged on a lower standard than the rest of the world in conducting elections?"
The Opposition leader
maintained that fresh presidential elections should be held to restore electoral justice.
Raila declared the National Super Alliance is not ready to fail the Supreme Court after its historic nullification of the August 8 presidential election.
The court nullified the President's victory in the original August 8 vote after Raila filed a petition. He withdrew from the repeat election saying IEBC refused to implement the reforms NASA termed irreducible minimums.
"They (judges) have been disparaged...they have been called names....they have been called traitors, crooks and criminals...," Raila said.

"We want a vibrant democracy in our country. We don't want imposition of leadership on people and a collapse of our democracy," he said.
He claimed that IEBC, chaired by Wafula Chebukati, is being held hostage by the Jubilee administration
so it cannot conduct a free, fair and credible election.
"Chebukati had told me that he was going to extend the October 26 election date or resign. There was then a threat to his life,"he claimed.
Raila cautioned Uhuru, Deputy President William Ruto and other Jubilee leaders against mounting pressure for him to retire.
"My retirement package is in the constitution and the law. I don't need any kind of favoritism because they refused to give me my retirement package after serving as Prime Minister."
