Raila Odinga’s Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance has made a string of demands regarding election preparedness ahead of the electoral commission’s meeting with the four presidential candidates today. Yesterday, Azimio demanded to be furnished with, among other things, certified copy of digital registers containing all the names and identity card numbers of voters in wards countrywide, as well as a copy of the manual register.

At the same time, Mr Odinga demanded to be told the design, essential and security features of ballot papers and statutory election results declaration form, exact location and details of the printing press handling the printing of the ballots.
