President Uhuru Kenyatta has insisted that the repeat of the presidential elections must be conducted within 60 days as directed by the Supreme Court.
Speaking on Tuesday when he met a delegation from Narok County at State House, Nairobi, the Head of State noted that the constitution stipulates that electoral agency IEBC must conduct a fresh election within 60-days from the day the apex court annuls the presidential elections.
"The election must be done within 60 days of the Supreme Court decision. It must be conducted by IEBC as required by the Constitution," he stated.
He further took a swipe at the Opposition for threatening to boycott the repeat polls slated for October 17.
"We are telling our opponents to stop intimidating Kenyans. Nobody can block the election," he said.
Opposition coalition NASA has spelt out a number of key demands they want addressed before agreeing to participate in the fresh polls.
