Crowd build up at Kamukunji ahead of Raila's arrival

The crowd continues to build up at Kamukunji grounds in Nairobi ahead of the 'grand' arrival of Azimio leader Raila Odinga.

By 1 pm, supporters were still making entry to the venue albeit in small numbers.

Security officers could not be spotted around the grounds even as several leaders from the Alliance continued to turn up.

Raila who has been out of the country is expected to make a 'major' statement over the August 9 general election.

The opposition chief has been in South Africa on a week-long tour in his capacity as the African Union's Special Envoy on Infrastructure.

He said he will reveal shocking details about how his presidential victory was stolen.

"He will discuss recent disclosures by a whistle-blower on the conduct of the 2022 General Election. He appeals to Kenyans to show up in large numbers at the Kamukunji baraza in the interest of the country,"  Dennis Onyango, Raila's spokesman said.

Raila has convened the rally to allegedly give his supporters a 'way forward' following a dossier that opposition leaders say detailed how the opposition leader was cheated of his victory.

The meeting is touted as a 'people's Baraza' and will allow Raila to talk about the alleged dossier by an IEBC insider on how the polls were 'manipulated'.
