The repeat presidental election will be managed by five newly elevated poll IEBC section managers, all reporting directly to the poll agency chairman, Wafula Chebukati, who will double up as head of voter identification and results transmission technology.
In surprise changes made even before the details of the Supreme Court ruling on the section heads responsible for messing up the August 8 presidential election, Mr Chebukati picked a project team in which he sidestepped all those that NASA leaders had demanded be removed from poll management.
