Raila Odinga speaks after IEBC sets date for fresh election.

NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga has rejected the new election date set by Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Odinga has said that he was not consulted over a new date for the second battle for the Presidency with Jubilee Party candidate Uhuru Kenyatta.

IEBC announced on Monday, September 4 that repeat election will be held on Tuesday, October 17 in line with Supreme Court ruling and the Constitution.

Only Odinga and President Kenyatta will be on the ballot even though Thirdway Alliance candidate Ekuru Aukot has insisted that he will be on the ballot as well. According to Odinga, there are thorny issues that have to be dealt with first, before a new date for election can be announced.

The NASA leader has called for prosecution of some of the IEBC officials including CEO Ezra Chiloba after the electoral body was found to have not conducted credible elections on August 8.

The ruling by Supreme Court judges to annul President Kenyatta's victory has elicited mixed reactions among politicians and their respective supporters.

 Those on the Jubilee side have been angered and vowed to deal with Chief Justice David Maraga who is the head of the Judiciary should President Kenyatta emerge winner.
