Raila led Azimio coalition warns of dire consequences if Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza reconstitutes IEBC without their input.
The Azimio la Umoja coalition has warned President Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza Coalition against reconstituting the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) without its involvement.
The opposition warned its allies that such activities would have serious consequences for both the alliance and the entire nation.
Opiyo Wandayi, the minority leader in the National Assembly, stated in a speech yesterday that the Azimio Coalition would no longer be participating in the negotiations since Kenya Kwanza had proven to them that they were not serious with the said matters.
He said, “Let them dare to constitute IEBC, this will have extremely painful experiences that I even shudder to imagine.”
Wandayi confronted the co-chair of the negotiations, Tharaka MP George Muragara, accusing him of pushing for the resumption of the talks even though their requests had not been addressed.
He said that the Kenya Kwanza team never took the negotiations seriously and only requested them to defuse escalating political tensions.
He asserted that it is obvious that the IEBC selection panel is still in existence, in contrast to claims made by the administration that the panel had suspended operations.

“The statement by Murugara and the Kenya Kwanza team is a confirmation that they are not serious about the bi-partisan talks.
The Bi-partisan talks are a mere red herring, they are a waste of time and a deceptive act.
“The talks were called to make the public believe that something was going on, yet what Kenya Kwanza was doing is to just buy time to have the country’s political temperatures cool down,” said Wandayi.
He added, “if the talks were called in good faith then why are they not heeding to our demands?
They need to tell us we are now past those talks, they have collapsed and we have pulled out of them. As of now, there are no bi-partisan talks and Murugara and team should now go and do something else.”
