Wafula, however, said that the errors have no effect on the presidential results. This comes after he declared President Uhuru Kenyatta the winner of the last general election amidst objection from the opposition leader, Raila Amolo Odinga.
The chairman also downplayed accusations that he never took any action against Jubilee for using state resources during the electioneering period. He also insisted that the electoral officers did their best.
“The commission and I do not have a stake in the outcome of the elections at all. Throughout the election cycle, we were neutral referees. Our resolute mandate was to provide the electoral infrastructure for the people of Kenya to exercise their sovereign will to elect leaders of their choice, “said Chebukati, as quoted by Standard.
The Chairman also dismissed claims that the election was shambolic as argued by leaders aligned to the National Super Alliance (NASA)
“It is not correct, as the petitioners have alleged that the commission presided over a shambolic election. No single activity or process was done haphazardly,” added Chebukati.
The leaders of the opposition have maintained that President Uhuru Kenyatta did not win the August election.
