NASA LEADER RAILA ODINGA GIVE'S HIS SUPPORTERS THE WAY FORWARD FOR SATURDAY ELECTION

He cited security concerns as the reason behind the changes following confrontations between NASA supporters and the police.

He further noted that he had written to Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet to seek direction. The announcement has not been received well in the counties with area residents maintaining that there will be no election.

Members of the Seventh Day Adventists (SDA) have also strongly opposed the date as it happens to be their day of worship.

A different group of Church leaders held a press briefing in Kisumu on Friday where they blasted the IEBC's decision, terming it 'a license for state massacre'.

Rev Canon Joshua Owiti of the Diocese of Maseno East stated: "For Mr Chebukati to say he has requested Mr Boinnet (IG) for assistance to ensure voting takes place specifically in Siaya, Kisumu, Homa Bay and Migori, that is a license for State massacre in these areas because the only language Boinnet knows is that of guns and bullets."
