Majority of Kenyans want the repeat presidential elections to be held on October 17 as announced by the Independent Boundaries and Electoral Commission (IEBC), a new report has shown. Nasa Presidential flag-bearer Raila Odinga and his team have spelt out conditions it calls "irreducible minimums" which they want the electoral body to meet before they can participate in the repeat poll next month. About a month to the repeat elections, 69 per cent of voters in Nyanza want the election to be held on the scheduled date, a surprisingly high number considering that the region is the political stronghold of Raila. Infotrak CEO Angela Ambitho said the current mood in the country is for the elections to be held quickly, so that the people move on with their normal lives instead of engaging in campaigns.
