Azimio leader Raila Odinga has claimed that there was an attempt on his life during Thursday's mass demonstrations in Embakasi South after his car was allegedly shot at seven times.
In a statement on his official social media pages, Raila condemned the police for using excessive force during peaceful demonstrations.
"There's no justification for the excessive force used against peaceful unarmed citizens exercising their democratic rights today. The unprovoked attack left my car hit with 7 live bullets, each aimed at me," he said.
Raila's convoy was viciously repulsed by police as it exited Kware in Pipeline on its way to the Central Business District.
He was forced to take a detour on the Eastern Bypass after protesters were dispersed with teargas and his convoy blocked from accessing Outering Road by water cannons.
Raila said despite the police action, "We won't be deterred".
"Our quest won't stop and we'll hold the mother of all demonstrations next Monday, regardless of what our detractors say. We won't give up."
Raila posted photos on his social media handles and asked Kenyans to help identify persons seen aiming at vehicles in his convoy with what looked like guns.
He said Azimio's resolve to demand for a forensic audit of IEBC servers to resolve the standoff with the Kenya Kwanza government over the outcome of the August 9 polls remains on course.
The Azimio leader reiterated that there's no justification for law enforcement to use excessive force on peaceful protesters exercising their democratic rights to demonstrate.
"We're regressing back to colonial times when African lives were deemed worthless," he said.
Earlier, Raila warned President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that following the brutality meted against him and his supporters, their stay in power was now hanging in the balance.
"No justification exists for the brutality that we and the residents of Pipeline have endured this afternoon! Ruto and Gachagua your days are numbered and count them well," he said via Twitter.
