The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has summoned Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege over her remarks that the last presidential election was tinkered with malpractices.
IEBC summons Sabina Chege over rigging claims
Remarks by Woman Rep Sabina Chege raise eyebrows at rally
"You are hereby required...on the 15th day of February 2022...for an examination by the Electoral Code of Conduct Enforcement Committee over utterances made by yourself at a rally," IEBC said in the notice issued Friday.
During the Vihiga Azimio rally that was attended by Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho and a host of leaders allied to Azimio, Ms Chege said that there could have been election rigging in 2017.
"They [Kenya Kwanza Alliance] think they are the cleverest. We have the people and Raila has met the people," said Ms Chege.
Her remarks have forced DP Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza team to come out and reassure their supporters that they will not allow rigging to determine the succession race of President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Dr Ruto said his UDA party defeated the deep state and handshake during the by-elections in Msambweni, Juja and Kiamba, a sign that they would still do the same in the coming General Election.
