The failure of the Okoa Kenya campaign on a technicality should worry all reasonable Kenyans. The fact that the country’s second political coalition could not muster one million signatures from registered voters can mean only two things: (i) that the Independent, Electoral and Boundaries Coalition (IEBC) has a vendetta against CORD and has intentionally denied the Okoa Kenya campaign forward progress; or (ii) that CORD actually did not meet the constitutional signature threshold.
Both scenarios are unthinkable ahead of next year’s elections.
