Azimio leader Raila Odinga received a warm welcome on Wednesday as he arrived at Jevanjee gardens for a national prayer rally.

He was accompanied by Narc leader Martha Karua, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, former defence CS Eugene Wamalwa, former Kakamega governor Wycliffe Oparanya, Roots party leader George Wajackoya among other leaders.

Raila was received by Kenyans who had gathered at Jevanjee gardens waiting to participate in the prayer day.

This marks the first Azimio prayer rally to the Nairobi Central Business District (CBD).

By around 11 am Kenyans had already gathered and started with worship and prayers.

Some Kenyans donned traditional regalia to the event while carrying empty plates.

Initially, the opposition had planned to conduct the prayer rally at the gate of Anniversary Towers, the headquarters of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) – a plan that was vacated over the weekend.

Instead, the Azimio said they will be at the historic Jevanjee Gardens and urged its supporters to turn up in large numbers.
