"We will not allow Kibaki to make this country a dictatorship."
Supporters of the Kenyan opposition leader, Raila Odinga, say they will defy a police ban on public rallies and stage a second day of protests.
They are protesting against Mwai Kibaki, whom they accuse of stealing last month's presidential election.
On Wednesday at least three people were killed in clashes between police and opposition supporters.
Mr Odinga is demanding a recount of the vote, saying he will stop disputing the result if it shows Mr Kibaki won.
He also said he was prepared to join a transitional coalition government under President Kibaki to organise a new presidential election within three or six months.
The ongoing violence in the wake of Kenya's disputed election last month has left more than 600 people dead, and the UN estimates 500,000 people are badly affected.
Wednesday was the first of three days of mass protests called by Mr Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) across Kenya.
In the western opposition stronghold of Kisumu two people were killed when police broke up a rally of up to 1,000 demonstrators.
In an unconfirmed post to the BBC News website, a reader in the south-western town of Mbita Point said three people had been killed there in clashes with police.
ODM leaders tried to lead some demonstrators to Nairobi's central Uhuru (Freedom) Park but were blocked by riot police firing tear gas.
Unconfirmed reports from the city's Kibera slum suggest three protestors suffered gunshot wounds during demonstrations.
"We are determined to continue with the fight," one of Mr Odinga's top allies, William Ruto, told reporters.
"We will not allow Kibaki to make this country a dictatorship."
Police also broke up rallies in Eldoret, in the Rift Valley area worst hit by violence, and in the coastal resort of Mombasa and other towns.
UN aid appeal
The UN has launched a $34m humanitarian appeal for Kenya, to help those affected by the violence following the disputed election.
A quarter of a million people have left their homes and 6,000 have fled to neighbouring Uganda.
Kenya was one of Africa's thriving economies and its bread basket has traditionally been the Rift Valley, where maize is grown, but the tribal violence there is affecting the country's ability to feed itself.
Sir John Holmes, the UN's Emergency Relief Coordinator, said the money the UN was seeking over the next six months would be mainly used for food aid.
"We then have an item of some $6.5m for emergency shelter, so the idea of this is to provide basic tents, plastic sheeting, for up to 100,000 people," he explained.
Nessuno, now this was copy pasta. I use a pretty standard format when I do it, although I added the nice little quotation this time. I like it. I think I'll be doing it in the future as well.
