Opposition leader Raila Odinga went to Kawangware, Nairobi, on Sunday to address violence that broke out on Friday.
Several people were injured after panga-wielding youths clashed following differences over the presidential election.
Raila withdrew from the race that was to be a hot repeat race with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Witnesses told The Star crowds stormed the area and started attacking people randomly.
Raila will lead his NASA brigade in a tour of the area after a church service at Gatina PAG Church.
A spot check by The Star indicated residents anxiously waited for the leader of a national resistance movement to arrive. Some were seen sitting on rooftops.
Tension has increased following reports that Jubilee leaders led by Water CS Eugene Wamalwa are also expected to tour the area.
