Opposition Chief Raila Odinga announced that he will not call for anti-government protests.

Addressing the media on Saturday at Karen, the ODM Party leader said  that will not be his strategy this time round.

"Mara hii sitaambia wananchi turudi kwa barabara , hapana. wakirudi watarudi kwa mambo mengine tofauti kabisaa.Staki kusema kwa sasa kwa sababu nitakuwa nimesema mapema," Raila said.

This loosely translates to: This time round I will not tell Kenyans to protest on the streets, No. If they gi back it will be on other issues. I won't say now because it is still early.

However, Raila said that Kenyans should watch his next move.

"Lakini naambia wakenya , watch this space," he said.
