Carrying “Chiloba Must Go” banners, the coalition supporters matched in protest demanding reforms in the IEBC ahead of the presidential re-run. The protesters in Kisumu matched to IEBC offices.

NASA had called for national protests after the coalition irreducible demands were not met in full by IEBC.
