The Jubilee campaign trail was in the coastal region and the rallying call that each politician gave was an answer to the wiper party leader Kalonzo and the opposition. The only tallying centre that is recognised constitutionally is the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
When the opposition proposes setting up a parallel tallying centre for the 2017 general election, we are looking at a situation where possible violence will erupt. The opposition fought for the IEBC commissioners to be sent home and after a series of demonstrations and court cases, the seven commissioners resigned. This was a sign of goodwill and peace for Kenya to give way for a credible election in 2017. The agenda is being set again that the new IEBC will not deliver as we expect it to.
