The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati on Thursday postponed repeat presidential polls in Homa Bay, Kisumu, Migori and Siaya counties over security concerns. Kenyans took to the poll on October 26th following a Supreme Court ruling which nullified the August 8 presidential poll on grounds that IEBC committed various illegalities during the poll process. In the September 1 verdict, the Court ordered the poll body to conduct a repeat poll within 60 days, in accordance with the law. Raila urged supporters to boycott the poll, even as Uhuru's team asked voters to come out in large numbers for the election. IEBC has seven days to declare the winner, even as debate rages over the credibility of the poll.
