Kenyans will go to the elections to choose between President Uhuru Kenyatta

and NASA chief Raila Odinga.

However, Raila has said he will boycott the polls as IEBC has failed to implement

the reforms he has been pushing following the cancelled August 8 vote.

The Opposition's NASA coalition said it will hold the mother of all protests on voting day to dispute the election.
