Cord's anti-IEBC protests have started gaining momentum in various parts of the country, especially in the coalition's strongholds.
Cord, led by co-principals Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula - wants the electoral body's commissioners to vacate office claiming they are partisan and cannot be trusted to manage the 2017 elections.
On the other hand, Jubilee led by President Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto want the removal of the IEBC bosses done according to the constitution.
Looking at the issue from a different perspective; it is clear that opposition leaders, through the peaceful protests, are raising a red flag to the government that the matter should no longer be ignored.
Why then will President Uhuru give in anyway?
The shooting of civilians has tainted Kenya's image internationally.
Three people died in Siaya and Kisumu counties during Monday's demos, scores were injured. Last week, police were captured on camera roughing up one of the protesters.
The international community would not just sit and watch innocent lives dying, and they may apply certain pressures to the government which will force it to dialogue with the Opposition leaders.
Already, 12 envoys from the US and European Union nations have called for dialogue between the two parties as well as an end to the protests.
The protests could have grave repercussions for the country. One, investors will be hesitant to invest in the country and in a bid to woo them, the government will have to give in and agree to dialogue as Cord leaders have been demanding.
The protests which Cord says will go on every Monday until the IEBC commissioners go home, also risk causing disunity in country.
The protests may create enmity between Cord and Jubilee supporters. Those who don’t participate in the demonstrations might be seen as traitors and the rift will emerge. To close the gap, the government will be obligated to listen to Cord leaders pleas.
The divisions will not doubt complicate efforts by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission to deliver on its mandate.
As such, the government will find it necessary to yield to Cord's demands.
