So how would voting happen in a state of emergency? With shoot to kill orders in place, who will dare get out of their house to go vote?

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.

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.

In Siaya county, IEBC trainees were smoked out of training in Bondo, Gem, Ugunja and Alego Usonga by irate youths who said they have gone against Raila Odinga's wish.

Bondo returning officer John Matekwa said they were forced to push the training indefinitely.

"POs and the DPOs had just reported for the training when a group of rowdy youths, armed with machetes and other crude weapons, came for them."

Matekwa said some police officers sustained minor injuries and that the crowd smashed windows.

Migori police were forced to fire several shots in the air on Tuesday to disperse a crowd that tried to chase IEBC officials from an elections training.

A group chanting "No Reforms! No Election" stormed Lion Simba Hotel in Migori town and started throwing stones at the facility.

Some of the protesters tried scaling walls around the establishment before officers arrived and fired live bullets. Police were called by the officials and managers of the hotel.

Now raila asks Chebukati to postpone elections reason being....wait for it....HOSTILITY!. Did someone say raila's plan is to cause chaos so that not to have an election??

IEBC should abandon any efforts to carry out elections in Luo Nyanza....They will spare a life/lives. If anything, the elections act allows them to.

The IEBC has a legal right to postpone elections in a particular region/area if it might interfere with peace. I foresee Luo Nyanza and Kibera among other few polling stations postponing. Uhuru will be declared legally elected. NASA will appeal to the Supreme Court which will throw out the case with costs as the remaining votes will not affect the final figures.
As always, I maintain voting in Africa must be restricted
