Police guarding the IEBC’s offices fired teargas at Opposition leaders on Monday to keep them from storming in to remove commissioners.
Among leaders who took part in the protest were chief Raila Odinga, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Senators Moses Wetang’ula (Bungoma), James Orengo (Siaya) and Anyang’ Nyong’o (Kisumu).
One of the protesters attempted to climb the gates before they were dispersed by police.
Raila earlier accused the Jubilee government and the IEBC of arguing against reforms for a democratic electoral system.
The Cord leader said changes being pushed by the Opposition are aimed at reflecting the will of members of the public.
