Kenyan opposition calls for electoral commission to quit

Kenya’s opposition has called for the country’s electoral commission to disband before next year’s presidential vote.

On Monday (April 25) some 500 of their supporters marched on the commission’s offices in Nairobi. They say they have no confidence in the organisation after it dismissed complaints of voting irregularities following the 2013 election. 

Opposition Senator Bonny Khalwale rejected accusations that the opposition was trying to bring down the government.

“ We are not overturning the government, we are saying the institution is rotten and it must go. Whether they like it or not this is just the beginning of our strategy.”
