Jubilee Rejects Chebukati Election Team, Wants Members Replaced

Jubilee has asked IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati to replace the team constituted for the October 17 repeat election.


 Party secretary general Raphael Tuju claims the current team, picked on Tuesday, is known to be partisan.
"We have received credible information that in the list, there are people known to be partisan," he said on Wednesday. Campaigns for round two of the presidential election officially began on September 6 and will end on October 15, IEBC announced on Wednesday.
Tuju added: "Given the fact that acts of omission or commission that rendered the [August 8 general] election null and void originated from the IEBC staff, we hereby register our strong objection to the deployment of the above to be in a position to run the process."
