Thirdway Alliance presidential candidate Ekuro Aukot asked Chebukati to make sure that the meeting does not degenerate into a Jubilee-Nasa contest. “This meeting needs prayers,” presidential candidate Abduba Dida interjected at some point. The meeting was necessitated following a Friday, July 7 High Court ruling by a three-judge bench which cancelled the tender for the printing of presidential ballot papers. Aukot warned IEBC not to use yesterday’s meeting for public relations purposes on learning that the poll agency had filed an appeal on the ruling. “If you are appealing [the ruling], let’s not waste each other’s time … Let’s go battle this in court,” he said.
