Guard against vile attempts to sabotage fresh presidential poll

The lull brought about by the public display of unity of purpose by embattled officials of the IEBC early this week is the clearest indicator that holding elections on October 17 is inevitable. I would have been happier if this attempt at burying the hatchet among the top poll officials was coming after the release of the eagerly awaited Supreme Court judgement.

I believe in the sovereignty of the will of the people and this repeat election will confirm the gap between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga in the race for State House. The awaited judgement will definitely have far reaching ramifications on the way we shall be conducting polls going forward, especially now that the Supreme Court did not point any illegality on the actual votes attained by the candidates.
