NASA transformed itself into the National Resistance Movement on the eve of the repeat presidential election.
Leader Raila Odinga urged supporters to practice civil disobedience and resistance.
"We will convene and agree on a way to ensure that a fresh free and fair election is organised within 90 days. We call upon our supporters not to vote and to convince their neighbours not to take part in the poll because it is a Jubilee election," he said at Uhuru Park in Nairobi.
He said the people should take instructions to boycott newspapers, TV stations, products and services in their bid for change in Kenya.
"We start a battle for electoral justice where we have credible election," he said, and repeated that no election will take place so Kenya can be saved from dictatorship.
"We call on Kenyans who love democracy to hold vigils and prayers and stay away from polling stations. We are aware that they plan to massacre our people. Let us deny them that chance."
