Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi is rooting for reforms at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission ( IEBC) as referendum looms.
In an interview with K24's Anne Kiguta, Musalia said that IEBC lacks the capacity to conduct a free and fair election.
He insisted that the composition of the commission is in a pathetic state. The politician, who is considered as one of the potential successors of President Uhuru Kenyatta, further said that there is no need to go into any contest without a team.
“We need to relook at the IEBC. The biggest issue is the credibility of the IEBC and ability to handle elections,” he said.
He also that National Super Alliance (NASA) wanted reforms embraced but they push was resisted by the Jubilee side. He further said that reforms will make the exercise free and fair at the end of the day.
“There were issues within the 2010 Constitution which we thought as Nasa needed to be changed. That is subject to other parameters such as sufficient resources, sorting out IEBC,” he added.
Musalia also said that he is only ready to support a referendum, which is destined to transform the lives of the voters and not the other way round.
