Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leader Party Raila Odinga has announced that his party will hold national prayers for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
Speaking to the press after meeting Azimio senators on Wednesday, February 15, the Azimio leader stated that the prayers would be held outside IEBC’s main offices at Anniversary Towers, along University Way.
The ODM chief stated that the prayers would take place next week, but he did not specify a specific date.
Raila explained that the prayers were intended to solicit divine intervention for the Commission, which he said was critical in upholding the people’s will.
“This week, we shall be in Kisii on Friday, February 17, and go to Kisumu on Saturday, February 18. We will also be doing a prayer.
“A prayer for the IEBC so that we get an IEBC that will defend the rights of our people and that prayer will be done in front of the IEBC premises sometime next week,” he announced.
He said the prayers will seek to give Kenya an electoral commission that “will defend the rights of the people”.
