The Malindi High court on Monday extended the IEBC April 26 deadline for party primaries to May 1. The organisation moved to court seeking an extension of the party nominations deadline from April 26 to May 7. Angaza told the court that IEBC has breached Kenyans rights by setting the deadline for parties to submit the list of candidates on Wednesday, April 25. "This limited the time required for Kenyans to exercise rights to choose preferred candidates for parties they support." "That the breach of my rights has national consequences on the rights of citizens to effectively exercise their political rights," Mirigu said.
