IEBC postpones Mathare by-election

Kenya: The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has postponed the Mathare Constituency by-election from August 7th to Monday, 11th.

The electoral body said the changes will give them adequate time to include William Omondi’s name on the ballot paper as a contestant in the by-election.

This follows Wednesday’s ruling by High Court ordering them to include him in the ballot.

Gatundu South and Kibiri County Assembly Ward by-elections will proceed on Thursday next week as earlier scheduled.
