Kenya's main opposition Nasa leader Raila Odinga will not be making his much-anticipated announcement this Tuesday after all.
A
statement from Mr Odinga’s chief agent in the August 8 poll Musalia
Mudavadi says negotiations on the announcement had taken longer than
expected.

“Owing
to the urgency, complexity and delicate nature of issues Nasa Summit is
handling, our consultations are on-going and progressing well,” he
said.
"We regret that the consultations are
taking longer than anticipated and Nasa will therefore not address
Kenyans as projected today. Nasa will issue a comprehensive statement to
the nation tomorrow (Wednesday).”
Kenyans were waiting with bated breath for Mr Odinga to declare his next course of action.
He made the pledge last Sunday during a visit to Kibera slums where
he also urged his supporters to boycott work on Monday and mourn their
colleagues felled by police bullets.
The
opposition chief is expected to guide his supporters on what actions his
coalition would take after losing the General Election last week.
