French-firm OT-Morpho had submitted a six-page report to the commission, in which it detailed how long it would take to reconfigure the 45,000 kits for the fresh election. In a brief statement, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati announced that the decision was taken to ensure the commission is fully prepared in light of the apex court’s judgment delivered on Wednesday. In conducting the fresh election consequent upon our orders, and indeed in conducting any future election, IEBC must do so in conformity with the Constitution, and the law. Nasa wanted the date for the fresh election to be selected through a consultative basis and not through perceived directions from their opponents in Jubilee. Besides the election date, the opposition has also published what they call irreducible minimums that consist of reforms that must be effected before the fresh election.
