Basing on the responses that IEBC commissioners- including the chairman- have been giving lately on whether to vacate or not, it is clear that the matter is now personal. It remains a given fact that the current IEBC, as it is, cannot conduct a free and fair general election come next year. That some stakeholders are accusing IEBC of impartiality is a strong reason to have the commissioners resign and the electoral body reformed. With dialogue, the commissioners can also negotiate their send-off and pave way for the creation of a new commission. The government’s hard stand regarding the IEBC stand-off may indicate the biasness that CORD and others are accusing the government.
