Starehe MP Charles Njagua Kanyi has moved to court seeking to have IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati declare results of the repeat Presidential election without numbers from four counties where the election has been postponed to October 28th.
The legislator stated that the results from Siaya, Homa Bay, Kisumu and Migori would have no impact on the final tally.
He also noted that he was seeking to protect business people in the area who may experience losses should protests erupt.
In an exclusive conversation with Kenyans.co.ke moments after filing the case, Jaguar stated: "We want the IEBC to work within the law and announce the results within seven days from October 26th, not 28th."
