Prime Minister Raila Odinga is expected to make a comeback on the campaign trail Saturday at a Yes rally in Kisumu.
A statement from his office said that "he will join President Kibaki and other Yes leaders for the Green Rally in Kisumu".
The campaign rally will mark the first since the PM was hospitalised about a month ago.
On Friday, the Prime Minister attended the ongoing 17th edition of the African Senior Athletics Championships at the Nyayo National Stadium, Niarobi to cheer on Kenyan athletes.
He was admitted to Nairobi Hospital where he underwent head surgery after his doctors diagnosed him with subdural haematoma.
The operation was meant to relieve pressure that had built outside his brain.
Mr Odinga was discharged from hospital and his doctors recommended that he takes time off from his hectic schedule. He has since been recuperating at his Nairobi home.
However, Mr Odinga has been hosting delegations at his home and he has urged his visitors to back the proposed Constitution.
The PM's last campaign rally was at the Masinde Muliro Gardens in Kakamega last June.

Welcome back but please take plenty of rest until you are completely healed! From your explanation of the kind of operation you underwent, it is not something that heals in a week or two and especially given your age but takes a while. Politics was here yesterday, it is here today, tomorrow and in the future but your health is more important than all, including campaigns for the forthcoming referendum! Best wishes and quick recovery.

Alright wellcome back and make the draft a reality. Do not bother to mention the extra costs.There is duplication and overlapping agencies all over,BUT THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM!.Take the AG and DPP for instance.They are at par as per the draft instead of the later working for the former. But don't worry we can afford both duplicated offices,since the two Principles say so.There is some oil and gas in Isiolo afterall.
