Azimio leader Raila Odinga has put President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on notice after his convoy was teargassed and repulsed with water cannons in Embakasi South.
The convoy which was accompanied by a mammoth of protesters was viciously repulsed by police forcing protesters to scamper for safety amid a hail of teargas canisters.
Raila condemned the incident saying Kenya Kwanza's reign now stands on shaky ground.
"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," Raila said via Twitter.
Residents of the highrise apartments in Pipeline poured water from their balconies in an effort to help the protesters below wash teargas from their eyes.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna thanked them for the gesture hours later in a tweet.
"God bless the residents pouring water down from their highrise flats to douse us from the intense teargas," he said.
Following the incident, Raila was forced to take a detour on Eastern Bypass before joining Outering Road with hundreds of his supporters in tow.
The protesters lit bonfires on the road and engaged anti-riot police in running battles for the better part of Thursday afternoon.
Moments before they were teargassed as they exited Kware, Raila had told his supporters that not even a million police officers would stop their march into the central Business District.
"Tunazunguka sasa tunaelekea kule chini halafu tunarudi huku town," he said.
"Hatuwezi kutishwa (We can't be intimidated) Hata wakiweka askari ngapi, Azimio itapita."
The demonstrations were largely peaceful with little skirmishes and it was not immediately established what triggered police to lob teargas.
In a statement on Wednesday, Interior CS Kithure Kindi warned that going forward, all attempts of people holding violent or destructive protests would be allowed.
"With or without notices, demonstrations and protests of any type which injure people, security officers, businesses and property shall be prevented at all costs," he said.
