Chances that the national electoral body will be restructured ahead of next poll rose yesterday after President Uhuru’s allies softened their hardline position on proposal by Mr Raila Odinga’s Opposition coalition.

National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi, a confidant of the President and Jubilee Alliance nominee for the coveted position in the House after the 2013 election, appeared to test the waters when he proposed the number of electoral commissioners be whittled down from nine to three, serving on part-time basis.
