Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu now wants the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati to update the country on the latest preliminary results of the presidential election.
Ms Ngilu, who opted not to defend her seat in the general election that was held on August 9, 2022, is one of the agents of the Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
While speaking at the Bomas of Kenya, IEBC’s national tallying centre, Ms Ngilu said that the commission’s failure to update Kenyans on the latest presidential results more than 12 hours after the Form 34As were electronically transmitted to the commission was causing unnecessary tension in the country.
