(Photo: Willis Awandu/Standard)The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) received Friday’s court ruling on tallying centres with a cautious response, as the Jubilee Party remain silent. IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said they do not consider the Appeal court’s declaration that presidential results announced at constituency level be final as a blow. Although, the commission lost the appeal before a five-bench judge, Mr Chebukati said the verdict was still important to them and that they don’t regret their decision. “We have just seen a news alert on the same but we did not go to the Court of Appeal to win or lose. The IEBC chair spoke after opening a three-day training workshop for over 870 staffs including county and constituency returning officers and ICT officers at the Safari Park hotel in Nairobi.
