Haki Africa has called for urgent dialogue among political players to end the political stalemate featuring President Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA principal Raila Odinga.
"The IEBC, political parties, civil societies, religious leaders and the media must be at the core of this dialogue to unlock the stalemate across the country," a statement to newsrooms read.
Executive director Hussein Khalid said this will play a key role in ensuring Kenyans candidly "talk with each other instead of at each other".
"We call on a neutral actor such as the international community to convene the dialogue and ensure all parties are engaged and brought to the table," Khalid said.
On March 1, Kofi Annan marked nine years since he brokered a deal for peace in Kenya after
2007/8 post-poll
violence.
The peace accord signed between retired
President Mwai Kibaki
and Opposition leader Raila Odinga ended the
violence that was sparked by a disputed election.
It saw the birth of the Grand Coalition Government with Kibaki as the President and Raila as the Prime Minister.

Khalid said if something is not done urgently, citizens might suffer.
"We must emerge from this situation a stronger and united nation. The time for national dialogue is now, to save our
country," he said.
"While we appreciate that ongoing legal and electoral debates are healthy for Kenya's democracy and will help clarify issues, we also feel they are taking a heavy toll on wananchi."
Khalid noted the country is falling behind economically and socially.
He said while IEBC and the Judiciary have tried to respond to various political stands, the electoral process has taken new meaning and has left many
not understanding the consequences of such pronouncements.
The African Union Commission earlier said it is ready to help Kenya end its political stalemate and
restore normalcy.
Chairperson Moussa Mahamat issued a statement on Wednesday saying the AUC will take any appropriate action to
facilitate the peaceful conclusion of the electoral process.
