25 Oct How Kenyans reacted to formation of National Resistance Movement
Nobody saw the resistance movement coming. Most people thought Raila’s big announcement will focus on the crippled IEBC and mobilizing people not to vote on the 26th of October. But in his presser he said that the National Super Alliance (Nasa) had transformed from a political coalition to “a resistance movement” has awaken many reactions from Kenyans and across the world.
Speaking at Uhuru Park, Raila said, “We will not respect a government that was not elected according to the Constitution. We will not respect Uhuru, Ruto, regional commissioners, county commissioners and all that trash.” He then proceeded to read the Nasa Declaration:
- One: From today, we are transforming Nasa coalition into a resistance movement.
- Two: We embark on campaign to defend our democracy.
- Three: Boycott goods and services offered by businesses benefiting from the oppressive regime.
- Four: Convene people assembly to chat way forward.
- Five: Mobilise movements to ensure that a free fair and credible election is organised within 90 days.
Immediately after Raila’s announcement, Kenyans on Twitter could not hold their opinion. Here is a rundown of different reactions from Twitter.
Nyanza RESISTANCE MOVEMENT or National RESISTANCE MOVEMENT? Raila is PIMPING the Old Revolution. He is Alone. NASA Kanu Boys are FIXING him!

Wafula Chebukati will be forgotten faster than was Samuel Kivuitu but beneficiaries of his actions will never be forgiven by the National Resistance Movement.
