IEBC commissioners on Saturday held a long day meeting after the Supreme Court nullified President Uhuru Kenyatta’s win.
According to Nation, the meeting was meant to craft the way forward in light of the Supreme Court nullification of the August 8 presidential election.
This came as a push-and-pull emerged between President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga over the fate of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Speaking on Friday after the court ruling, NASA leader Raila Odinga said that a foreign body should be contracted to conduct the repeat polls.
Mr Chebukati had on Friday talked about the meeting in his reaction to the Supreme Court ruling.
“It is worth noting that the new commissioners only took office seven months ago, without any changes made to the secretariat. To protect the integrity of the sovereign will of the Kenyan people, the commission intends to make internal changes to our personnel and processes as we prepare for the fresh presidential election in 60 days,” Mr Chebukati had said.
According to insiders, the meeting was meant to come with the election date.
Present in the meeting were all the seven commissioners and CEO Ezra Chiloba who is said to have arrived late but left early.
