Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar has asked the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to guarantee fair, transparent, and credible elections.
Omar said Kenyans are counting on the electoral body to deliver credible elections in August.
Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the Legislative Summit in Mombasa on Tuesday, Omar said IEBC has no option but to deliver credible elections.
The Wiper Party Secretary General said the opposition will not accept anything but transparent, fair, and credible polls.
Omar observed that the Wafula Chebukati-led commission has the needed resources to guarantee Kenyans fair elections.
“IEBC must work around the clock and ensure that it meets all the necessary time lines for credible polls,” he said.
The Mombasa Senator said National Super Alliance (NASA) will not accept shoddy, unfair or compromised polls, and asked IEBC to be transparent and share its election preparedness plans with political aspirants across the divide.
He also urged IEBC to conduct extensive voter awareness campaigns, adding that many Kenyans are not aware of the electoral process with only five months remaining to the August 8 polls.
