The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission(IEBC) chairperson Wafula Chebukati has said that the commission will next week conduct a simulation exercise for the electronic results transmission.
Speaking at the Bomas of Kenya on Sunday Chebukati confirmed the exercise will be organized on or before Thursday, June 9.
Chebukati was responding to a concern raised by Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga on the electronic results transmission ahead of the August 9 polls.
During the exercise, IEBC and political party representatives will identify any challenges in transmission of electronic copies of election results
The electronic results are used to collate provisional election results at the National Tallying Center.
Electronically transmitted results are only used to generate a provisional tally with IEBC required to verify physical statutory forms before declaring the outcome of an election.
