Q: What in your assessment have the demonstrations achieved so far?

The protests have created intensified and widespread public awareness of the need to overhaul the IEBC and they have shown that Kenyans want the current commissioners out. People are coming out on their own to demand their removal knowing the dangers. That is commitment.
