Azimio Supporters Demostrates Outside IEBC Offices
Police on Monday lobbed teargas as leaders allied to the Azimio Coalition Party held protests outside the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) offices in Nairobi.
Some MPs were caught in the melee that ensued, even as police demanded that the leaders disperse their supporters before they got an audience with the electoral body.
The gates leading to Anniversary Towers, the building housing IEBC offices, were closed.
The Azimio leaders are protesting the interdiction of IEBC deputy CEO Ruth Kulundu in what they say is witch hunt from the commission.

Azimio leaders want Kulundu reinstated to her position even as they accuse IEBC of victimising officials deemed friendly to the party.
