Everyone wants the IEBC out. The government, the opposition and even the IEBC commissioners want themselves gone. The big question in the house is how they should go. While the opposition wants the commissioners to vacate office and a new team selected through an all-inclusive panel, the government wants the law followed in their removal.
Through my naïve mirror, I see to it that if IEBC is removed through protests, the government of the day would be the next target. I believe that is why the government is not comfortable with this route. They also believe that agreeing to the oppositions call for dialogue will give the opposition a political advantage. They also need the ground rules that are not in their favor, they are the ones who should call the shots.
