Jubilee explains why Azimio didn’t have agents in Mt Kenya Region
2 min readJubilee explains why Azimio didn’t have agents in most of the polling stations in the Mt Kenya Region during the August elections.
Jeremiah Kioni, secretary general of the Jubilee Party, has accused the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) of placing needless demands on the coalition by blaming the Commission for the absence of Azimio la Umoja agents from polling places.
On Monday, August 22, Kioni alleged in an interview that IEBC officials had barred Azimio agents from entering polling stations because their appointment letters were unstamped.
According to him, several of their agents in Western and Mount Kenya were impacted by the issue.
“Azimio agents were not allowed to enter the polling stations at the required time. The excuse they were being given was that their appointment letters did not have a stamp.
“When I personally visited a polling station, I asked why they were requiring the agents to have stamps yet candidates were not required to have stamps,” Kioni stated.
The Jubilee SG explained that the plan was orchestrated in advance as part of an alleged rigging scheme by their opponents.
“Even if we fail to raise this matter now, people should know that things are not okay. Many will be shocked by what we have witnessed in this election.
“We never imagined that IEBC would aid in the plot as they did,” Kioni claimed.
Additionally, Kioni argued that Azimio had gathered enough evidence to support the petition challenging Deputy President William Ruto’s win in the August 9 presidential poll.
