Raila declared plans to have a mass protest on Wednesday.

He said December 7, will mark the start of a series of consultations on the state of the nation, following the removal of the commissioners.

"We want to ask Kenyans if they are happy with the way things are happening," Raila said.

The Azimio leader said the first rally will be held at Kamkunji Grounds in Nairobi and the second will be held at the same venue on December 12.

This is the day Ruto is expected to lead the country in the Mashujaa Day celebrations.

Raila, on Sunday, promised that during the rallies, he will make a revelation on what transpired during the election.

However, the Head of State said his administration will not block the Azimio leader from going to the streets, so long as the demonstrations do not degenerate into the destruction of property.

He gave instructions to Interior CS Kithure Kindiki to provide security during the demonstrations.
