IEBC Calls Off Saturday Repeat Election in Four Nyanza Counties

The Independent electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has called off the repeat presidential election earlier scheduled for Saturday to a later date.

The IEBC on Thursday re-scheduled the election in Kisumu, Homa Bay, Saiya and Migori counties to Saturday for security concerns. Nyanza leaders, including faith leaders, had criticized the Saturday date and called on the IEBC to postpone the election.

IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said a new date will be announced later.

CHEBUKATI, YOU SHOULD CALLED OFF THIS SHAM ELECTION ON THE DAY OF THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF JUSTICE MWILU AND THE KILLING OF HER DRIVER. HAVE YOU, YOURSELF BEEN COMPROMISED?

Chebukati should call it off to allow Raila to conduct his election there in 90 day in order for him to ascend himself to the throne of “President of United Kingdom of Kisumu (UKK)”. Then Raila can create his own capital city called the “City of Lord of Poverty”. As much as Kenya wants to accommodate everyone, sometimes upuzi becomes overwhelming and it becomes difficult to find a way to deal with it. Anyway, Kenya belongs to all Kenyans and if there is a section of Kenyans who refuse to be Kenyans, they are free to leave and go reside somewhere else. There is a lot of empty land in Africa that deserters can occupy.

Lol you need to read Stephen Colberts "Truthiness" because you fit right in , with your anonymous fellow, Iphone aka Guest1 . Denial in psychoanalysis means "whereby seemingly intelligent and sane adults vehemently deny truths despite a body of irrefutable data"

Why call it off. We simply will not show up or did UK insist on knowing how many supporters he has in our régions. Zero and if there are any they are too scared to show up hell even the election officers know what is at stake. How do you confront a dog in its own backyard and expect not to get barked at.Now you know we at NASA do not recognise this sham élections maybe it is news to you

@fg2. Dog slaughter eyew! Some Savage forms of expressions just show how some minds are debased and lacking in controlled emotion and acceptable grammar needed to communicate their protestation. Yet in them dwells the population with the most PhD's.

Wouldn't be surprised, the same people that did this will tomorrow be thanking their creator in a nearby SDA Church, for having brought torment to the symbol they want represented by that innocent dog.
