Kalonzo Musyoka, the Wiper Party leader, has asked President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to be included in the process of reorganising the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
In a letter to Ruto and Raila released on Friday, March 28, he urged them to involve the opposition in meaningful discussions and consultation with the opposition to strengthen public confidence in the IEBC to ensure fairness and inclusivity in the process. "I firmly believe that the United Democratic Alliance(UDA) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), now aligned on one side, should engage in discussion with those of us in the opposition to ensure a balanced and inclusive process." "This position is informed by the principles of checks and balance, good governance, and sound public policy," the statement reads.

PCS Kalonzo warned that failing to do so would mean making decisions that only benefit UDA and ODM, which would make Kenyans lose trust in the IEBC.
