IEBC Calls Off Saturday Repeat Election in Four Nyanza Counties

The Independent electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has called off the repeat presidential election earlier scheduled for Saturday to a later date.

The IEBC on Thursday re-scheduled the election in Kisumu, Homa Bay, Saiya and Migori counties to Saturday for security concerns. Nyanza leaders, including faith leaders, had criticized the Saturday date and called on the IEBC to postpone the election.

IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said a new date will be announced later.
