he United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has appealed to Azimio Coalition to withdraw a case before Kiambu law courts to pave way for the formation of IEBC.
Through a statement, UDA Secretary-general noted that they themselves are looking forward to the formation of the commission ahead of by-elections slated for different wards and constituences.
“Mischievously, there has been an attempt to apportion blame on the Government for the delays in the constitution of the IEBC, which cannot be further from the truth.” read the statement

“We call upon the litigants in the referenced case, who are members of the Azimio coalition, to withdraw their case to enable the process to be completed,” he continued
The statement by UDA is however different from that Kalonzo Musyoka who accused the ruling party of using proxies to stop the process as they had already proposed a name.
Kalonzo noted that it is the plans of the President to have people who he can easily influence and manipulate.
“On IEBC, we adhered to the strict timelines of the Court and we gave the name Koki Muli,” he said
“The state itself has filed an appeal with the Kiambu High Court against our decision. They want candidates who are easy to influence and manipulate. It is a Ruto strategy to ensure there is no IEBC.” he continued
