The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) intensified attacks on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), insisting the Opposition would not participate in the 2017 General Election unless it is reformed.

MPs Simba Arati (Dagoretti), Opondo Kaluma (Homa Bay Town), Kisoi Mumyao (Mbooni), Opiyo Wandayi (Ugunja), Daniel Maanzo (Makueni) and Nicholas Gumbo (Rarieda) said IEBC cannot conduct polls without the Opposition.
