Uncertainty continues to loom on the repeat of the presidential elections in Kenya slated for 17 October.
The main opposition alliance, Nasa, vowed that its leader Raila Odinga will not participate in next month’s polls until key changes are made to the electoral commission IEBC.
Yesterday at a rally on the outskirts of the capital, Nairobi, Nasa leaders demanded reforms to before they take part in the polls.
They want IEBC officials to be sacked, and a thorough audit of the electronic system used to transmit results.
Meanwhile, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ruling Jubilee party says it is ready for the repeat polls, dismissing Nasa’s boycott threats as “cowardly”.
Local media reports deputy president William Ruto saying the opposition sensed defeat.
Our sources say the IEBC has arranged an exclusive meeting with the two leading politicians within this week.
