The Kenyan African National Union party has explained why chairman Gideon Moi has been a no-show in opposition rallies.
According to the party's Executive Director, George Wainaina, their party leader has been out of the country.
He went on to say that the former Baringo senator returned to the country on Sunday morning.
Wainaina added that Gideon had also not been briefed on the rallies, but they will soon be meeting as Azimio partners.
"He arrived yesterday morning and we have not had an opportunity to brief him on what was going on. At an appropriate time he will meet his partners in Azimio and OKA particularly," he told the Star.
The Kanu chairman has been out of the country for an observer mission.
Gideon Moi has been in Antigua and Barbuda on an election observer mission where he had been deployed by the Commonwealth Observer to be part of their team.
The team completed its mission on Sunday, January 22, where they gave the election a clean bill of health. This was a day before the opposition's first rally at Kamukunji grounds.
Critics have questioned Gideon's absence from the rallies claiming it signals his reluctance to team up with Azimio again.
Azimio during their last rally on Sunday announced another series of rallies that will see them go to Machakos, Nakuru, Kakamega, Kisii, Kisumu and Mombasa.
Raila will then move to Kiambu, Garissa, Isiolo, and Turkana and then climax with a mega rally in Nairobi.
