Third way Alliance leader and presidential aspirant Ekuru Aukot has said he will be in the ballot for the fresh presidential election following the Supreme Court judgement that annulled President Uhuru Kenyatta’s win.
Aukot said the repeat polls will not be between president Kenyatta and NASA leader Raila Odinga who filed a petition to challenge Uhuru's win.
“There is misinformation doing rounds that the repeat election will be about President Kenyatta and Odinga. We are going back to the ballot,”Aukot told the press on Sunday at a city hotel.
He called for investigations into the elections by credible bodies.
“We believe that undertaking this exercise will expose electoral offences,” he said.
Aukot noted that IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati and senior managers should resign since they cannot oversee a fair election process.
“It is clear that the IEBC cannot be trusted as a neutral body. Bad elements within the commission must be punished and the first form of punishment is not to allow them to come any closer to any other election,” he said.
