National Super Alliance (NASA) Presidential running mate Kalonzo Musyoka has stated that the opposition will agree to the involvement of OT Morpho and Al Ghurair in the repeat presidential poll if IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba and his secretariat are removed.
In an interview with the Saturday Standard, Kalonzo also stated that he was ready to persuade his Opposition colleagues to participate in the election scheduled for October 26 if the Jubilee Party agreed to shelve the amendments to the election laws.
The Wiper Party Leader said the motive was malicious and meant to cheapen the presidential elections adding that this would affect the elections date.
Musyoka stated that this was a clear proof that their competitors were scared to participate in a free and fair election and had resorted to introducing unconstitutional laws to win an election.

He further indicated that him and NASA Flag bearer Raila Odinga would not participate in the demonstrations because they were candidates in the repeat polls but insisted that the same would continue until their demands were met.
“If Chebukati sacks Chiloba today and President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy drop their mischievous Election Laws Amendment Bill currently executed on their behalf in Parliament, I will request Raila that we teach Jubilee a lesson in the repeat polls,” Kalonzo said.
“If they pass the laws and Kenyatta assents to them, we will go to court immediately," he added.
On Friday Chiloba was left out of a seven-member team unveiled by IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati to oversee the repeat presidential election on October 26.
Chebukati stated that the new group would not include officers accused of bungling the August 8 presidential election.
Two other electoral officials also pushed aside along with Mr Chiloba are Nancy Kariuki and Silas Rotich.
