A polls agency commissioner hopeful has linked flawed party nominations to election violence. Irene Masit today told the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commissioner selection panel that post-poll violence starts from the nomination level. She recalled her experience when she vied for Elgeyo Marakwet woman representative in 2013 and emerged number two. In 2017, she says she wanted to run for woman representative, but could not raise the almost Sh100 billion that some of her competitors had raised. The seven-member IEBC Selection Panel chaired by Dr Elizabeth Muli is sitting at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
