[Photo|Capital FM Kenya]The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati, has dismissed proposals that another body conducts presidential election.This is after the Supreme Court nullified August 8 presidential election, whereby IEBC had declared President Uhuru Kenyatta, the winner.The National Super Alliance led by its chief Raila Odinga, filed the petition dismissing Uhuru's win, saying he colluded with IEBC to subvert his victory.However, Thirdway Alliance leader Ekuru Aukot, who was an interested party in the petition and a presidential candidate, proposed that the United Nations, conducts the presidential election, saying IEBC did not have the credibility to conduct another election after the ruling.According to Ekuru, IEBC bosses, led by Chebukati, CEO Ezra Chiloba and commissioners, should resign from office.However, in a quick rejoinder, Chebukati said the Constitution clearly states that IEBC should be the one to conduct the election, and not any other commission or institution."The Constitution does not say any institution should conduct election. It says in 60 days, IEBC shall conduct another election, in such a scenario, so there's no other body that is mandated to conduct this election," Chebukati said, Friday at 2pm.
