I foresee a complete security lock down of the country from 25th October. Nobody will dare throw a stone on 26th .
NASWA have said that they will be having demos daily culminating with the mother of all demos on 26/10.
Easy!!.....The President should declare a state of emergency from 23rd to 30th with shoot to kill orders for anyone defying the order. Meanwhile, someone should go to SCORK and pray that we recount the 8/8 presidential votes just in case nasa makes it impossible to vote in Luo Nyanza on 26th.
The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2016, 55B provide for postponement of elections in a constituency, county or ward there is reason to believe that a serious breach of peace is likely to occur if the election is held on that date.
It further states in part(3) that... "(Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the Commission may, if satisfied that the result of the elections will not be affected by voting in the area in respect of which substituted dates have been appointed, direct that a return of the elections be made"
Orengo knew what he was talking about yesterday. Elections for Nyanza might be held later if the turn out in Jubilee strongholds will not be high enough to render the Luo Nyanza votes irrelevant.
