Photo/the-star.co.keFormer Rangwe MP and global chairman of Kenya Diaspora Alliance Dr Shem Ochuodho has warned against any attempts to hold elections past the 60 days stipulated in the constitution.Ochuodho has said by doing this, Kenya will be treading in 'very dangerous waters'. "We never envisaged a situation where what needs to be done by October 26th may not be done. The Wafula Chebukati IEBC must deliver elections on the new date they gave us.Exceptional situations call for exceptional measures," Ochuodho told NTV on Monday morning.He added: "Let us not to try to drag this electoral process past the 60-day mark because we will be entering in a very precarious situation."Ochuodho noted that there is no reason why Kenya cannot hold her elections within the 60 days saying that the Supreme Court judgment doesn't point out major flaws that cannot be fixed within the given constitutional timelines.On the validity of Uhuru continued occupancy of the Office of the President, the analyst and IT expert noted that the President was rightly in office saying that he was not a 'caretaker President because there is no such a word in the constitution'.Kisumu Governor Prof Anyang Nyongo, however, maintained that a free, fair, credible election must be guaranteed irrespective of the 60-day constitutional timeline."Mutunga in 2013 looked at election as an event, Maraga looked at the process. Elections are a process and not an event. Free and fair election should allow victors to celebrate the result and losers to accept the results as legitimate," Nyongo said.
