Umoja Summit Party Presidential candidate Walter Mong’are has been summoned by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to a meeting this afternoon, this is after Safina party presidential aspirant Jimmy Wanjigi alleged that he was cleared without a valid degree certificate.
While appearing before IEBC on Monday, Wanjigi, who was disqualified by the electoral body from the presidential race for presenting transcripts instead of a degree certificate, claimed that he was being discriminated against since the commission had cleared Mong’are under similar circumstances.
“You cannot apply different rules to different people. And if this is the intention and your direction as a commission then I fear greatly for the coming election,” Wanjigi said.
Mongare was the first candidate to be cleared by IEBC on May 30, 2022.
