Raila Odinga, the leader of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition, has cancelled planned rallies in support of the four IEBC commissioners, which were set to begin on Wednesday.
Following a meeting with Azimio MPs, Odinga announced that the parliamentary group had decided to postpone the protests until December 7 due to the ongoing national examinations.
“Azimio La Umoja reschedules their protests from tomorrow to December 7 due to the ongoing national exams,” he said.
Odinga also stated that they will not accept the report of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC), referring to it as the work of a hired hit squad and a lynch mob.
‘We will not recognize their findings. We are aware JLAC will table their report on 1st and a special sitting on 7th. This shows how myopic they are,” he said.
His declaration came a day after President William Ruto sounded a warning against anybody intending to disrupt peace in the country.
Odinga claimed that Ruto’s plan to rig the 2027 elections was behind the entire procedure to remove the “Cherera 4.”
The rallies would have been an effort to gauge public sentiment regarding the President Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza team’s campaign to remove the four commissioners.
