Should political parties abandon calls for six-piece voting pattern?

Calling for six-piece-suit voting is undemocratic. The new constitution has empowered the voters and they know what they are looking for in a leader. Kenyans yearned for multi-party democracy and what we are enjoying now is quite healthy and leaders should not be pushed down their throats.

I think the ongoing backlash against six-piece voting is a clear indication that party primaries were not well managed. Had parties given people the mandate to elect their preferred leaders, they would not have panicked because of independent candidates.
