The Great Announcement on 25th (your predictions please)

Define 'elections happening'
I took it to mean the phenomena whereby people vote during the D-day.
I didn't think of it as the situation where IEBC sets up their poll stations and nobody comes out to vote.
Btw,I am basing this on the fact that Raila doesn't want any elections (read voting) to happen. This means that whoever votes is not in favour of Raila. Anyone who thinks a voter on 26th will go vote for Raila is a moron.

Places like Kitui voted Raila 85%. They can simply intimidate the 15% not to go and vote. A simple demonstration as announced by Raila on 25th to happen on 26th will deter anyone from showing up at the polling station. And anyway, death is not necessarily the only option. They can simply stigmatise and cut the voters of from the society. Nobody is willing to be a social misfit in exchange for muthamaki being on the throne, I assure you.
You have no clue what the Army is do you? You think ni ma AP? Call an old uncle or your parent ask them vile kulikuwa 1982. Then call up a friend in Nanyuki ask them what would be the remotest chance of a protest. Even pamba anajua hawezi jaribu leta ujeuri mahali jeshi iko. All polling stations will be secured what I foresee is some NASA voters not voting if not all if the army gets deployed.
Chebukati wants them to have a gentleman agreement that elections on 26th is not feasible, so we all agree, no one takes the other to court, to claim illegitimate govt is in place or else all the 3 main players, go to Supreme court and ask for extension of the period.
Uhuru to remain in power but Electoral changes to be made fully.
Uhuru is suspicious of what may arise afterwards. If you are keen enough you would have noticed that it is Ruto (URP Members, duale, murkomen etc) who goes to this meetings, why, he is fearful a deal maybe striked while he is not there.
My question can Chebukati evoke this Article 55B about postponement of elections if the commission believes that serious breach of peace may occur, or an occurrence to make elections impossible to proceed.

Elections will only be postponed where it is evident SAFETY is not guaranteed. Even after postponement, if the areas do not have enough votes to cgange the outcome of the election a winner shall be called. In every constituency in the country there will be voting i.e, there will be polling stations open and ready for business on the 26th. From the look of things, it will be to dangerous to carry out elections in a few zones. At the end of the day, the postponed zones will not have enough votes to overturn the elections.
