The grandstanding by CORD and Jubilee over the electoral commission appeared more pronounced yesterday despite calls for dialogue to reform the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

CORD co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetang'ula announced that they would hold demonstrations twice a week, on Monday and Thursday, to force commissioners of the IEBC to leave office.
