Kajiado, Kenya: Following former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka’s discriminatory remarks towards a journalist, Kajiado County Wiper co-ordinator Solomon Kinyanjui has withdrawn his support for the party, citing frustration over the party leader’s utterances.
Kinyanjui termed the former VP’s statements shameful and representative of his ethnic misconceptions, which created a negative picture of his party.
“Due to the unfortunate statement by my party leader that resulted in a lot of pressure from Wiper supporters in Kajiado County, I have opted to resign as the party co-ordinator,” he said.
The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) will on Monday present a petition to Parliament for the removal of nine IEBC Commissioners from office.
A statement sent to newsrooms said:
“This unprecedented event will be held today (Monday) at 2:15pm at the National Assembly (Main Parliament buildings).”
Cord has been categorical that they will not be part of another election presided over by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
DAMAGING CLAIMS
Last week, Kisumu Senator Anyang’ Nyong’o said: “I don’t think our elections should be run by a criminal organisation.”
Members of the Parliamentary Public Investment Committee also clashed over whether the IEBC should be disbanded.
Leaders from Jubilee are however against any move by the opposition against the polls body and termed the latest calls for removal of the team as a ‘smear campaign’.
A recording recently emerged in which an electoral commission official was allegedly heard casting doubts on the credibility of last year’s General Election.
