NAIROBI: Okoa Kenya proposal by the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy to amend the Constitution has failed to meet the required threshold of a million signatures, says the electoral body.

In a plenary meeting held yesterday, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission adopted the report on the verification of signatures of registered voters in support of the proposed constitutional amendment presented by Okoa Kenya initiative.
