The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) now says it may be forced to push forward elections if it has to include gospel singer Reuben Kigame on the presidential ballot paper.

At the same time, IEBC argues that it will spend an additional Sh971 million to reprint the ballot paper and reconfigure 55,650 Kiems kits.
