ODM is opposed to the "State House-driven so-called parliamentary process" on the IEBC stalemate.

Secretary for political affairs Opiyo Wandayi said the electoral reforms that the coalition has been agitating for must be undertaken through an all-inclusive process.

"Parliament is just but one of the players in this matter. The latest attempt by a cabal of MP's to move forward this agenda, though laudable, is highly suspicious," he said.

In a statement to newsrooms on Tuesday, Wandayi

reiterated

that

IEBC commissioners must vacate office without further delay.
