Kenya Kwanza bipartisan talks team now wants the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) selection panel to proceed with the recruitment of commissioners should the Azimio team fail to attend a meeting scheduled for next week.

The committee co-chair George Murugara said they had written to their counterparts in Azimio asking them to resume talks on Tuesday after a month-long break due a busy Parliament calendar.
