Lawyer Zehrabanu Jan Mohammed has asked the Supreme Court to ban IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati from conducting elections or holding public office.
As she made her submission to the court on Wednesday, the Senior Counsel said that the presidential election did not reflect the sovereign will of the people.
“We shouldn’t be in a position where we hope our votes count, but a position where we know our votes count,” she argued.
Moreover, Zehrabanu stated that due to the irregularities in the election, their prayer to the court is to nullify the 2022 Presidential election.
“We have requested that the chairperson be prohibited from conducting any further elections in view of his behavior and or holding any public office in Kenya in breach of chapter six of the constitution of Kenya,” Zehrabanu stated.
According to the senior counsel, Chebukati’s integrity is questionable.

Furthermore, Raila Odinga and Martha Karua in their petition on August 22 beseeched the court to declare Chebukati unfit to hold a public office.
“…A declaration be made that Wafula Chebukati is unfit to hold public office and that IEBC, its chair and Commissioners Boya Molu and Abdi Guliye committed election irregularities.” Part of the court papers read.
