Tuesday February 19, 2013 –ย With 12 days remaining to the historical general election, Prime Minister Raila Odinga has dropped his demand for โ€œsix pieceโ€ voting in Nyanza region after witnessing a hostile rebellion in the last two weeks.

On Monday, ODMโ€™s Elections Board Chairman Franklin Bett said the PM is now asking his supporters to vote in large numbers on March 4thย to ensure he wins in the first round.
โ€œWe have started an aggressive campaign to encourage people to get out and vote to the last man. So asking for a โ€œsix piece suitโ€ in some places does not help us at all,โ€ Bett said.
Two weeks ago, the PM was booed and heckled as he appealed for โ€œsix pieceโ€ voting in his Nyanza backyard.
However sources close to the PM said he realised that โ€œsix pieceโ€ voting does not augur well with voters, saying he wanted to ensure he forms a strong government with experienced politicians but not political greenhorns.
The desire for โ€œsix pieceโ€ has been prompted by the realisation that a substantial bloc vote will be required to control the 11thย Parliament.
