IEBC chairman Mr Issack Hassan said that his Commission has been “compelled” to set the March 4 date since President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga have failed to agree on a date as set out in a recent court ruling.
“….the Commission hereby announces that the general elections will be held on Monday, March 4, 2013,” said Mr Hassan, during a news conference at Laico Regency Hotel.
