Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua wants the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commissioners to resign if they can’t handle a mini election.

While registering his concerns on the alleged double standards by the IEBC for failing to enforce Constitutional provisions on election on government allied leaders, Gachagua claimed there was a plot to postpone the by-election slated on July 16 as a precedence to postpone next year’s general election.
