Odinga said that the NASA coalition had come to the conclusion that there is no intention by IEBC to undertake any changes to its operations and personnel.

"IEBC does not intend to effect changes in operations, staff to ensure irregularities that led to nullification addressed," Odinga added.

The NASA leader also cited the Jubilee administration's amendment to the Electoral laws which he said demonstrated that they are not committed to a credible election.

"Considering the people's interest, we believe it would be best for NASA to vacate and withdraw from the repeat election," Odinga affirmed.
