A political deal between Kenya’s ruling Jubilee Alliance and the opposition coalition Cord to resolve the stalemate over the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) could be in the offing.
A day after Cord suspended the weekly demonstrations aimed at forcing IEBC commissioners to resign and opted for dialogue, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s The National Alliance (TNA) party said the ruling coalition Jubilee will only dialogue with the opposition under a parliamentary forum.
