My baseline contention is that the current Carayol IEC is illegitimate and Carayol ought to consider resigning and insisting on a representative IEC. However, should his conscience not accomodate such sobriety, I applaud him for efforting to conduct good elections. It will never be good in these circumstances. I encourage all opposition parties, united or not, to boycot the november polls unless a legitimate IEC is constituted.
