Opposition leader Raila Odinga has claimed that IEBC chair Wafula was set to resign days to the repeat presidential elections.
Speaking on Tuesday, Raila said that Chebukati had confided in him that he will resign after meeting President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Days to the polls, Chebukati met both Uhuru and Raila separately even though the NASA leader had withdrawn from the polls.
"We met Chebukati and said he was not able to deliver a credible election. He said he was going to talk to Uhuru then go to court and resign later," he said.
This was not the case despite expectations.
Speaking after commissioner Roselyn Akombe had resigned, Chebukati stated that he would stay put to oversee the repeat polls.
Raila said he did not know what happened after the meeting but noted there was low voter turnout in the October 26 election.
