NASA flag-bearer Raila Odinga has said he is ready to concede defeat if he loses fairly in the August 8 elections.
Raila said he will only do so on condition that the IEBC conducts a free, fair, transparent and credible election.
He issued a raft of conditions which he said were vital in having an election whose outcome would be acceptable to all contenders.
“We are sportsmen who know that in any match there can only be two outcomes; either a win or a loss. In the event we lose fairly we shall accept,” the ODM leader said at an interview on NTV Thursday night.
He reiterated that the key responsibility of ensuring a credible election rests squarely with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries commission.
“The commission can save the situation by conducting free, fair, transparent and credible polls and no one will hear complaints from us,” he said.
