Quit presidential race if you don't trust IEBC, Jubilee MPs tell Raila - Kenyans' reactions captured

Elections are not for the electoral agency but for Kenyans to exercise their constitutional right.

It is not based on trust but on the rules set by the Constitution. If Kenyans detect a malpractice, they have a right to point it out and legal institutions must look at the facts available and decide.

It's not the business of one of the competitors to ask people to leave the elections if they don't trust IEBC.

Telling anyone who does not trust IEBC to leave the competition is not an option.

Kenyans are protecting their democratic institutions and it is neither a Jubilee nor an IEBC thing.

Kenyans are still haunted by the 2007 post-election violence that resulted from a bungled election.

We should never allow a repeat of the bloodshed.

However, we are beginning to see a similar pattern in the preparation for the August elections and it is absolutely important that the Opposition leaders be keen in monitoring the activities that could lead to a bungled poll and resultant chaos.

It is Raila Odinga's constitutional right to raise the red flag if he has credible information that the incumbent is trying to influence the elections.

So far, the IEBC has shown clear bias against the Opposition and the IEBC chairman is too cosy with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

This is politics. How do you expect the Opposition leader to hang up his boots just because his competitor is issuing empty threats? Manuel Belion
