NAIROBI, July 10 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's opposition presidential candidate Raila Odinga was discharged from hospital in the coastal city of Mombasa on Sunday night, his adviser confirmed on Monday.
Salim Lone said the former prime minister who leads the National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition would be subjected to more medical tests in Nairobi after spending a few hours undergoing treatment in Mombasa.
"Odinga is doing very well this morning," Lone said. The opposition leader was rushed to the hospital after addressing several political rallies in the coastal region.
Speaking to journalists and hundred of supporters after he was discharged in Mombasa, Odinga who is seeking to stop President Uhuru Kenyatta from securing a second term in office at August elections, said he had been cleared on a clean bill of health.
"All my other indicators are very good. I have been discharged to go back to Nairobi and to campaign. I am as fit as a fiddle," he said, noting that he would resume his political rallies.
Odinga is expected to attend a meeting alongside other presidential candidates and the election commission IEBC after the High Court cancelled the presidential ballot papers printing tender
Odinga's spokesman Dennis Onyango had first suspected a food poisoning case.
But Odinga's adviser quickly dispatched a statement to newsrooms with re-assurances that the NASA leader was in a stable condition and had only sought medical attention as a precaution.
"The doctor feels that there is absolutely no cause for alarm. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to worry about Odinga's health," Lone said on Sunday night.
