Safina Presidential candidate Jimi Wanjigi had written to the electoral commission raising seven issues he wanted the agency to address ahead of the elections. In a letter to IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati, Wanjigi, who was denied clearance on Monday, had asked IEBC to conduct a thorough audit of the 2017 presidential election in accordance with the elections technology regulations. Wanjigi noted that the IEBC should issue a circular to state agencies to provide adequate security to voters who attend campaign rallies of presidential candidates across the country. At the same time, Wanjigi asked the IEBC to cease displaying what he termed as 'statistics' at the National Tallying Centre without requisite forms. At the same time, Wanjigi asked the IEBC to issue a directive to media houses to equal coverage of presidential candidates and where necessary take action to ensure compliance.
