NASA leadership address the press September 14, 2017. [Photo|ODM]NASA has delivered to IEBC a letter of pre-conditions necessary for a free, fair, credible and accountable election. In the letter, the Opposition alliance restated that a credible election cannot be achieved by cosmetic exercises intended to ring-fence vote-riggers and vote-rigging. Nasa presidential campaign manager Musalia Mudavadi indicated the preconditions were for purposes of a credible fresh presidential election and cover procurement of election materials; transparent use of and access to ICT; replacement irredeemable personnel who abetted electoral fraud and their crimes; gazettement of polling stations and; live media coverage of results declaration at the 290 constituency tallying centres in the same manner as done at the national tallying centre. "Our irreducible demands are not impossibilities. Ours are within the emerging broad international consensus that IEBC needs to correct the irregularities and illegalities committed in order to carry out a credible fresh election," he said.Addressing the press in Nairobi, flanked by presidential candidate Raila Odinga and his deputy Kalonzo Musyoka, Mudavadi acknowledged that the EU Observer mission had since revised its observations and made recommendations that were not dissimilar to what Nasa suggested to IEBC as its irreducible minimum."As we have pointed out before, our experience with the IEBC does not inspire confidence. We do not believe that the IEBC leadership believes in good faith or keeping its word," he added.The coalition reiterated that they would not allow IEBC to conduct "another sham election for which it is asking the Kenyan taxpayer to underwrite to the tune of KSh.12 billion." "We hereby reiterate that there will be no elections on October 17. IEBC must fulfill the conditions necessary for the fresh election as ordered by court."
