Thirdway Alliance presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot says the decision by IEBC to print extra presidential ballot papers is a scheme to rig in favour of Jubilee.
Aukot, a constitutional lawyer by profession is running against President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga and a host of minor candidates.
And on Saturday, Aukot accused IEBC of failing to adhere to election rules by printing many ballot papers without substantive explanation.
“We went to court over this Dubai Company because we knew they are planning something fishy. IEBC is not telling us the formula they used to decide the number extra ballot papers to be provided.
“Normally, we cannot have 100 percent voter turnout and that is a reality. It is sad that they have gone ahead to print more which they are not telling us how they will distribute. This is already rigging an election,” he said.
Early this month, opposition coalition NASA and the Thirdway Alliance lost an appeal to block IEBC from tendering presidential ballot papers to a Dubai based company.
