Commissioner Irene Masit of the electoral commission has claimed that the presidential election was marred with irregularities that denied them an opportunity to ascertain the winner.

Masit in her affidavit swore that IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati illegally declared Deputy President William Ruto as President-elect despite protest from majority commissioners that the process was opaque and unverifiable.
