“My appeal is to Wafula Chebukati to engage all the players if he wants the repeat presidential election to be free and transparent,” he said as quoted by the Star.
The MP said that the commission will have itself to blame if the presidential election is bungled again.
Meanwhile, the MP has set said that they will put up a spirited campaign to ensure Raila beats Uhuru in the fresh election.
