More leaders are continuing to pile pressure on IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati to postpone the October 26 repeat presidential polls.
Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) Secretary General Wilson Sossion is the latest leader to urged Chebukati to postpone the exercise.
According to Session, the polls should be pushed ahead in order to avoid chaos.
Mr Sossion said Chebukati should call the elections off to allow room for adequate preparations having confessed that the commission could not guarantee credible polls on Thursday.
He said only dialogue between President Kenyatta and Raila could save the country from the impending constitutional crisis.
“The country is founded on the principals of love, peace, and unity, all of which are missing ahead of Thursday’s election. We have therefore consulted labour movements and concluded that this election is bad for Kenya,” he said.
He was speaking during the burial of Okech Hongo, a former Nyanza Knut executive secretary. The ODM nominated MP said canceling the repeat election will not lead to a constitutional crisis.
