Kenya’s opposition has yet to reach an agreement with the electoral authority about how this month’s rerun of the country’s failed presidential election will be conducted.
The National Super Alliance is continuing discussions that began on Tuesday with the Independent Electoral & Boundaries Commission about the way forward, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga told reporters in Nairobi. IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati said it’s made progress on meeting the opposition’s demands. “There is no agreement between us and the IEBC,” Odinga said. “We have sent to the IEBC a very concise document outlining what went wrong and what we want to see rectified before we go for these repeat elections.”
Kenya is holding a rerun of its presidential elections after the Supreme Court annulled a vote held on Aug. 8 citing “irregularities and illegalities” by the commission. Odinga’s alliance has demanded the commission change staff and use different electronic systems in the new vote, an ultimatum that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party has rejected.
