The Service Party (TSP) Leader Hon. Mwangi Kiunjuri has asked the government to adequately facilitate the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), to give a credible and peaceful 2022 general election.

Speaking at Citizen TV Tuesday , Hon. Kiunjuri decried poor preparedness for next year’s general election saying that this might lead to chaotic poll. Kiunjuri pointed that many electoral legislations for next years general election are yet to be passed by parliament, a situation he says may be a recipe for delaying election.

“Elections are about preparation, Political players should come out and ensure we have a free and fair elections, am happy that the church has taken it over” Hon. Kiunjuri said.

His call comes at a time when IEBC is in the process of vetting commissioners who will oversee the election within the remaining 392 days.

IEBC has on the other hand assured that the general election preparedness is on course saying that all planned activities shall be achieved in the stipulated timelines.

Of concern is boundary delimitation and voter registration exercise within the remaining timelines owing to the fact that, there is constitutional amendment calls by a section of leaders through Bridging Bridges initiative, BBI. Though the initiative is been challenged in court,  it’s outcome might affect the set timelines for next years general elections.

At the same time kiiunjuri said he is ready to work with likeminded parties and leaders saying that TSP is positioning herself to this mandate.

“Most parties are only formed with agendas only geared to the elections and not pursued after the elections, TSP agenda is beyond the elections. As it stand the deputy president has our support not only because he is our friend but because his ideas and ours merge ” Kiunjuri said

Hon. Kiunjuri further called on Mt. Kenya leaders to ensure unity of purpose for the region to have a solid bargaining power in forming the next government.

“It is not about the numbers, it is about the unity of those numbers that make the region attractive to presidential candidates to consider one of their own in deputising him/her based on his or her capabilities” Hon. Kiunjuri said.

He said he is ready to ensure that the agendas he has for Kenya are articulated whether in opposition or in government.
