Presidential aspirant Peter King’ori has been given up to June 6 to comply with the requirement of providing 48,000 signatures or be locked out of the August 9 race
Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Sunday declined to clear Peter King’ori for the Presidential race in August due to insufficient Signatures.
According to IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati, Kingo’ri presented only 65 of the 48,000 signatures required.
“You have 65 qualified signatures out of the 48,000 signature and copies of ID. Your running mate doesn’t have duly filled electoral code of conduct, duly filled self-declaration form and passport. We shall reject your registration,” Chebukati announced at the Bomas of Kenya where the registration process was taking place.
IEBC kicked off the process of clearing presidential candidates on Sunday with the exercise expected to be concluded on June 6
