Following the withdrawal of Raila Odinga from the presidential race, it has emerged that IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati must do to ensure an election is done.
THe move now implies that upon our withdrawal, the election scheduled for October 26 stands cancelled.
Speaking on Tuesday, Raila said it requires the commission chaired by Wafula Chebukati to conduct fresh nominations as provided for in Elections Act 2011, Section 13 (1).
The provision states: "A political party shall nominate its candidates for an election under this act at least ninety days before a general election under this Act in accordance with its constitution rules."
In the new nomination, all other candidates will join the race.
Raila also said IEBC has ignored meaningful deliberations on necessary reforms to ensure the election is free and fair.
"It has wasted valuable time engaging in public relations exercises intended to create the illusion of motion without any movement," he said.
