The leader of the group, Rahab Mukami, a woman representative said the women had intensified campaigns to ensure Kenyatta wins the upcoming polls.

The country's Supreme Court on September 1 ordered the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to carry out a re-run of the presidential election, after annulling the vote due to "irregularities" and mismanagement by officials.

Subsequently, Kenya's opposition leader Raila Odinga withdrew from the country's October 26 repeat presidential election.

The elections body, the Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has indicated that the polls will go ahead despite Raila Odinga’s boycott.

The talk on sex in Kenya’s election is not new. Ahead of the first poll in August, Odinga was the first to ask for sex boycott on the eve of the polls.

“August 8 will be a historic day and no vote will be left without being cast. Men will sleep outside. When the day comes, no man should sleep with a woman,” he is quoted to have said.
