Uhuru meets Chebukati at Harambee House for poll talks

President Uhuru Kenyatta is currently holding a meeting with IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati at Harambee House.

Uhuru had said he was ready to meet the IEBC chairman adding that he has no demands ahead of the polls.

"My door is open. If Chebukati has something he wants discussed, he is free to come and we talk over a cup of tea," he told Citizen TV on Sunday.

Last week, Chebukati, in a stark message to political leaders, said he could not guarantee a credible vote under present conditions, and demanded Uhuru and NASA leader Raila Odinga meet him for talks.

Chebukati met Raila last week where the Opposition leader said NASA will reconsider its stand if proper consultations for the repeat election take place.

Raila has said he is open to talks, which should not be about a coalition government, while Uhuru said on Wednesday that he is not interested in telling the commission what to do.
