Led by Araka Matundura, they said the council is only determined to fostering unity among the Gusii people adding that individual members were at liberty to support their preferred candidates.

“As elders of this community, our office will remain free to meet candidate or group of candidates who will need us for consultation. This is purely a liberal movement," Matundura said.

In solidarity with IEBC, the elders urged members of Gusii community to make use of the ongoing mass voter registration which they said would give people platform to elect leaders of their own choice.
