Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o has announced the indefinite suspension of demonstrations in the county.
Several hours prior to Thursday's planned protests by Azimio, the governor made this announcement.
The governor said that the Kisumu team would participate in protests in Nairobi after a decision by the Azimio National Council and Kisumu county administration.
Violent protests have taken place in Kisumu, resulting in clashes between demonstrators and police and the destruction of certain properties.
"The people of Kisumu should remain committed to the aspirations of Azimio and its campaign for a better Kenya," the governor said.
"I would like to appeal to the people to work in tandem with enforcement officers to maintain peace and security in our county."
He said the people of Kisumu have spoken loudly and clearly on these very serious matters and have delivered their petitions to the government.
"We have delivered the message and expressed our resolve to stand with the Azimio La Umoja leader, Raila Amollo Odinga in his quest for Justice," he said.
