CORD leaders later acknowledged that the foreign envoys and church leaders pressed for the talks. High Commissioners and ambassadors from the European Union separately met President Kenyatta and the Opposition leaders over the IEBC stalemate. Governors Isaac Ruto (Bomet), Wycliffe Oparanya (Kakamega), Jack Ranguma (Kisumu) and Sospeter Ojaamong (Busia) demanded that IEBC commissioners quit before the next polls. And governors also joined the Opposition to push for the exit of IEBC commissioners. CORD co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetang'ula announced that they would hold demonstrations twice a week, on Monday and Thursday, to force commissioners of the IEBC to leave office.
