The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) says it will not revoke the nomination of the four presidential candidates already cleared to vie in the August General Election, and only the court has the power to do so. 

In a letter dated July 7, IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati said the commission's decision can only be reversed by a court order.
