Renowned lawyer Danstan Omari says he will join Azimio leader Raila Odinga's mass protest scheduled for Wednesday.
Speaking on Monday, the lawyer supported the mass protest saying that he will personally attend.
"I will personally be in that demonstration," Omari said at K24.
President William Ruto on Friday suspended four IEBC commissioners.
Raila has been protesting Ruto's move to suspend the four, who differed with IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati over the August poll results.
He condemned the suspension terming the move as political.
Raila declared plans to have a mass protest on Wednesday.
He said December 7, will mark the start of a series of consultations on the state of the nation, following the removal of the commissioners.
"We want to ask Kenyans if they are happy with the way things are happening," Raila said.
The Azimio leader said the first rally will be held at Kamkunji Grounds in Nairobi and the second will be held at the same venue on December 12.
This is the day Ruto is expected to lead the country in the Mashujaa Day celebrations.
However, the Head of State said his administration will not block the Azimio leader from going to the streets, so long as the demonstrations do not degenerate into destruction of property.
“I have asked Interior CS Kithure Kindiki to ask Azimio to give him their schedule of demonstrations, so that we can provide enough security. They can demonstrate everyday, once a week, every month,” Ruto said.
“You will not blackmail or threaten the people of Kenya. We are busy implementing our plan to develop Kenya and empower the people.”
Police have yet to comment on Raila’s planned rallies.
