Raila dismissed claims he is plotting to boycott the election by flying out of the country.
He said information being shared on social media is propaganda being propelled by Jubilee.
"This is just speculation...there is no cause for alarm. I have been invited to give lectures in the US, New York and London but I have only accepted to give a lecture at Chatham House this Friday. That is a one-day trip."
Raila added Kenya is a democratic society with freedom of choice.
"Participating in an election is a democratic right...nobody can force me to participate," he said.
"If I choose not to participate in a pre-rigged process, that is my choice. Not even the court cannot compel me to remain in the race."
The NASA principal noted NASA stands by its word that it will not participate in the poll if IEBC does not ensure a conducive environment.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
