NASA Hits IEBC With Three Demands ahead of Fresh Election

John Wanjohi Sep 04, 2017

National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders has hit the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) with three new demands before a repeat presidential elections is conducted.

Speaking in a campaign rally in Mathare, Nairobi County on Sunday, Nasa leaders led by Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula and NASA Co-principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Musalia Mudavadi said that the electoral commission must recruit new Returning Officers in all constituencies to allow for a smooth election.

Secondly, the opposition outfit demanded for a clean up in the Commission by sending home officials who allowed the commitment of electoral fraud during the August 8th elections that were nullified by the Supreme Court last Friday.

Lastly, Nasa ordered that the electoral agency must cut ties with Al Ghurair printing firm, which printed ballots for August 8th elections before the fresh poll and contract a new firm with no questionable credibility.

Wetangula said that IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati had immersed himself into trouble because he declined to listen to their warning regarding the Dubai-based printing firm.

While Nasa is demanding for removal of IEBC officials ftom office, Jubilee led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto have vowed to resist attempts to remove the commission from office.

Nasa said that it had no faith with the current commissioners to hold the repeat poll, with Raila declaring he will not allow the commission hold the election.
