Cord winning 2017 presidential elections, a nightmare of the century

The much anticipated 2017 elections has been met by much criticism, especially from the opinion shapers of the two main coalitions; Jubilee and CORD. With both sides taking advantage of the weaknesses of each other, a lot has been said. The Cord coalition has termed the body charged with running elections in Kenya, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) as being incompetent and one sided. This comes after IEBC rejected the OKOA Kenya proposal to amend the constitution on March 22nd, 2016. Led by the Commission Chairman Ahmed Isaac Hassan, IEBC gave a report that after a critical analysis of the data presented by the Coalition for reforms and Democracy (CORD) showed that the proposal had not met the required threshold of a million signatures. Nevertheless, only 891,598 registered voters supported the initiative from the signatures presented. 

The CORD coalition led by its Co-principals, Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula has since accused IEBC for colluding with government officials to undermine their efforts. They went as far as organizing a demo which was aimed at forcefully ejecting IEBC officials from their offices at Anniversary towers. However, their plan to eject IEBC commissioners from office was thwarted by police.
