The Opposition leader noted that the low voter turnout on Thursday repeat election indicated the Jubilee government was imposing itself on people terming it a "sham election".
“If the government imposes itself on the people the people have a right to self-determination the people also have a right to disobey orders coming from such a government," Odinga said.
Meanwhile, a low voter turnout was experienced across the country during the Thursday repeat presidential election.
