The polls agency yesterday disqualified five presidential candidates who presented their credentials for failing to meet basic requirements such as submitting a minimum of 48,000 signatures of voters backing their bids.

The Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) said it is adequately prepared to conduct the August 2022 General Election. Chairperson Wafula Chebukati said the commission has addressed issues raised by the Supreme Court when it nullified the 2017 presidential election.
