After President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga pulled out of the presidential debate, three other candidates have threatened to pull out of the debate.
Independent candidates Michael Wainaina, Japheth Kaluyu and Thirdway Alliance flag bearer Ekuru Aukot termed the process to proceed with the debate on Monday as discriminatory.
“We cannot take part in a debate where we have been divided into two groups or rather two tiers,” said Ekuru on Tuesday.
“We made a formal protest through writing and hope they will respond on time so that all Presidential candidates feature in every debate,” Wainaina said.
The first presidential debate is slated for July 10, followed the running mates' debate on on July 17.
The final presidential debate is scheduled for July 24.
They will be held at Catholic University of Eastern Africa at 7.30pm and aired by all media houses.
