The truth political parties should know about IEBC as the General Election draws near


As political parties are busy conducting their nominations they should learn the bitter truth from their preliminaries which will probably help them make informed decisions after the August 8TH polls.All political parties have lessons to learn from their party preliminaries and how to handle IEBC.

First and foremost political parties can easily see that it is not easy to plan for an election. It calls for a lot of preparation and commitment. Even after preparation, they should also be aware that things may not go as expected and no one should be blamed for that.
