In pictures: Nasa supporters throng Uhuru Park for Raila Odinga swearing-in

Nasa supporters are assembling in Uhuru Park in their thousands. This after police officers left Uhuru Park to allow supporters to settle as they wait for the swearing-in to commence.

Police officers had earlier kept vigil and pronounced Uhuru Park as a no-go zone. There were fears of violent confrontation between Nasa supporters and the police but none of that has been witnessed.

Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka are expected to be sworn-in as the people’s president and deputy president respectively.

Uhuru’s government has termed the swearing-in event unconstitutional and vowed to go to any lengths to make sure it does not take place.

Media blackout

Citizen TV, NTV, Inooro TV have all been shut down on all free to air services ahead of Raila’s swearing-in. Communication Authority disconnected the TV stations’ transmission.

The media gag is thought to be deliberate move by the government to deny Nasa supporters throughout the country the opportunity to watch the live coverage.
