ODM leader Raila Odinga has officially launched the start of countrywide mass action.
This follows the lapse of 14-Day ultimatum he gave to President William Ruto during a Jeevanjee Prayer meeting.
Raila on Thursday addressed the press donning a combat attire during which he declared that President Ruto’s regime must vacate office.
"We are today invoking these provisions of our constitution to launch a massive PEACEFUL movement of defiance against an Illegitimate, reckless, heartless, incopentent Kenya Kwanza regime," Raila said.
"Take note that on the 20th of March 2023, we have a date with destiny in Nairobi. On that day our supporters throughout the country shall stage a massive procession in Nairobi for a legitimate and inclusive government. Save the date."

He accused Ruto of planning to recruit IEBC commissioners who will favour him in the 2027 elections saying they would not allow that to happen.
Raila was addressing the nation at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation where he said the Kenya Kwanza government can no longer be tolerated.
He said as leaders, they will remain firm in ensuring the current regime follows the law in the latter.
"As your leaders, we commit to fight, resist and defy this illegitimate regime side by side with you until our voices are heard and respected," he said.
"We recognize that only through hardship and sacrifice can our cries be heard and acted on. We will be with you to the bitter end. It is action time, let us all come out, wherever we are to make our voices heard and respected.
