Kenyans On Twitter (KOT) have reacted to the formation of National Resistance Movement with varied opinions.

This is after National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga’s declaration Wednesday evening that the coalition is now a resistance movement.

Using the trending phrase ‘Resistance Movement’, some supported the idea while those who were against it said it’s just a plan to get power through a backdoor.

Among those who supported the move were former Nairobi County gubernatorial candidate on Independent ticket Miguna Miguna, while Jubilee’s Majority leader Aden Duale weighed in.

@MigunaMiguna tweeted:  I support the formation and ideals of the National Resistance Movement-Kenya #NRMK. Patriots, let's LIBERATE KENYA! #NoOctoberElection.

@WachiraDennis1 posted: Am the first citizen of Murang’a to officially join & embrace the ideals of National Resistance Movement- We must liberate Kenya.

‏ @MusaRasmi tweeted: I have taken my membership of The National Resistance Movement! A proud member No 7! Baba akisema Right! Right! Left! Left! #ISupportNRM

For opposing people like Garisaa Town Mp and Leader of Majority Aden Duale and others, the movement symbolizes nothing but a plan to take power through backdoor.

@HonAdenDuale : Raila finally formed an armed resistance movement to take power thro" the bullet not  ballot. @UKenyatta @RailaOdinga.

@mkderek88: From being a super alliance to a resistance movement who is seeing dark days ahead for Kenya?

@MutahiNgunyi : Nyanza RESISTANCE MOVEMENT or National RESISTANCE MOVEMENT? Raila is PIMPING the Old Revolution. He is Alone. NASA Kanu Boys are FIXING him!

@Sandrahnk tweeted: Raila has announced that they are now a resistance movement ie an underground guerrilla group kama Kony wa Uganda  #TukutaneKwaDebe.

@Machukah posted: Even if NASA changes to National Resistance Movement, some people will never be satisfied. #TukutaneKwaDebe.

@RobertAlai : Raila getting militant. I was informed 3 weeks ago that he has trained men ready for the resistance movement, I disputed that. Ok, Kenya!!!
