Wetangula and Ruto were conspicuously missing during Raila's major announcement.

NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga on Wednesday made the long waited announcement that his supporters had been waiting for ever since Uhuru Kenyatta was declared President-elect last Saturday by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairperson Wafula Chebukati.

Odinga announced that they will move to Supreme court to challenge the presidential results while at the same time call for peaceful protests by Kenyans to show their dissatisfaction at what NASA termed as a stolen election.

The NASA leader was accompanied by his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka, principal Musalia Mudavadi and Siaya Senator James Orengo.

Conspicuously present were the other two principals; Ford Kenya's Moses Wetangula and Chama Cha Mashinani's Isaac Ruto.

Plive.co.ke reached out to Wetangula however, he could not be reached out for comment.

Speaking at the media briefing at the Okoa Kenya offices at Lavington in Nairobi, Odinga said Wetangula was in Bungoma while Ruto was said to be "out of town" on other engagements.
