Azimio leader Raila Odinga now says that he will sue President William Ruto for defamation.
Speaking in Nakuru on Thursday, Raila said he was cleared of treason charges, but Ruto has continued to spoil his name.
He said the court found no evidence that he took part in the 1982 attempt to overthrow former President Daniel Moi's government.
“I was discharged from treason charges after the courts found out that there was no evidence linking me to the 1982 attempted coup. Ruto has spoiled my name and I am going to sue him for defamation, " he said.
He said that the then regime had him detained at Kamiti Maximum Prison for six months as he faced the charges in court, but won the case in 1983.
Raila said he cannot be cowed by Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua and that he is ready to face them on March 20.
The former Prime Minister on Thursday took his anti-government campaigns to Nakuru.
He was accompanied by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and DAPK leader Eugene Wamalwa among others.
This is Raila's first public meeting in Nakuru since losing to Ruto in last year's presidential election.
On Friday, Raila will storm Ruto's Kiambu stronghold for another significant rally as he builds momentum for his Monday date with destiny.
The ODM leader made last-minute changes to his itinerary this week to slot in Nakuru and Kiambu in a strategic move to give his anti-Ruto campaigns a national face.
