At a rally in Homa Bay in western Kenya, the National Super Alliance party candidate urged his supporters to only consummate only after the results are declared.
Mr Odinga has likened the election to a war, saying sex before the day warriors go to battle is a bad omen that could result in defeat.
Raila further asked his supporters to wake up early and desist from activities that can prevent them from going to vote.

Officially campaigning started on Sunday, May 28 and will run to August 5, 3 days before the election.
Eight candidates are running for president in the elections including Odinga’s arch-rival incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta of the Jubilee Party.
