Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga has urged his supporters to help the sick admitted in hospitals, where possible, to go cast their ballot and be taken back to the facilities.
He asked the youth to ensure everyone has voted on Tuesday by showing the indelible ink mark as proof.
This is Raila's bid to ensure 100 per cent voter turnout.
Raila said the election is between the corrupt and those who champion integrity and support development.
The Azimio presidential candidate told off Deputy President William Ruto over claims of vote rigging and forcing chiefs to back him.
Speaking in Kisumu during his last rally in his Nyanza backyard on Thursday, Raila said he doesn't need state backing and that of chiefs and their assistants to win next Tuesday.
The DP, in a press conference in Nairobi, alleged a plot by the state to use the government administrators to rig the poll.
Ruto also claimed that a section of national government leaders from Rift Valley were holding night meetings to execute the alleged plot.
But speaking in Kisumu, Raila told Ruto to face him directly and stop dragging top government officials into his campaigns.
“We will win this election with the vote of Kenyans. Stop shadow boxing and face us. The people you are mentioning aren't on the ballot,” the ODM boss declared to thunderous applause at the Jomo Kenyatta’s sports complex.
Raila told Kenyans the work of uniting the country will continue immediately after he takes over from President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"We want to ask our opponents to stop attacking Uhuru. They should leave the President to retire in peace," he said.
"We should not be bored with talk about any plot to rig elections. Nobody wants to rig elections."
"We don't need chiefs to win the election because we will do so through the vote of the people," the former prime minister said.
Raila, who was accompanied by running mate Martha Karua, said he had no doubt "the people will vote Blue. They will vote Azimio."
He said he needs a 100 per cent turnout in his support base.
"Today is a historic day that can only be compared to what happened in 1961 upon the release of Jomo Kenyatta. He then made a trip to Kisumu. They spoke of freedom beckoning," he said.
The former opposition chief said the beginning of mass mobilisation of the country began in Kisumu after a historic visit by Kenyatta.
He regretted that ethnicity later took centre stage after Independence, particularly during the single-party dictatorship of former President Daniel Moi.
"We reignited the quest to end the division in Kenya with the swearing-in of President Mwai Kibaki in 2002," he said.
He took the supporters through events after the 2017 elections, saying the country was divided right down the middle.
"We decided to unite the country through the handshake. it was meant to be a symbol of unity," he said.
Karua and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka said their regions were fully behind Raila.
The venue was packed to its 10,000-seat capacity. People began streaming in as early as 9 am and went into a frenzy as six choppers, one ferrying Raila, landed at 2.51 pm.
Raila was accompanied by Kalonzo, Cotu secretary general Francis Atwoli, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho, Azimio alliance secretary general Junet Mohamed and CS Raphael Tuju, among others.
Loudspeakers near the main dias belted out the popular Ohangla tune 'Chwade gi Nyundo' to entertain the crowd.
Raila was then crowned a Luo elder in a traditional ceremony performed by the chairman of the Luo Council of Wlders Willis Opiyo Otondi.
The brief ceremony was symbolic and meant to hand over Raila to the rest of the country.
Otondi was interrupted by deafening noise from the crowd that demanded to be addressed by Raila's leaders. Raila himself was running late, addressing his last rally in Kisumu.
“I request you to remain calm and listen to our leaders. This is the last time Raila is here as an ordinary citizen. Next week he will be the president,” he said.
Earlier, Kisumu East MP Shakil Shabir was roughed up and thrown out of the podium by security who were manning the main dias.
At the time, Raila had not arrived apart from a few Kisumu leaders among them MP Aduma Owuor of Nyakach and ODM senate candidate Tom Ojienda.
Shakil who is defending his seat as an independent candidate had arrived early and secured a place in the front row before tables were turned against him.
