Some leaders from Western Kenya have accused the chairman of the electoral agency of playing partisan politics and plotting to favour one side in the upcoming Kakamega governor election.

The leaders, who are affiliated to the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition, condemned Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati’s unilateral decision to postpone the poll indefinitely for a second time, over security concerns.
