President William Ruto says there was an attempt to abduct and murder electoral commission chairman Wafula Chebukati during the August 9 General Election.
He said in a bid to subvert the will of the people, the chairman was to be replaced with a compliant commissioner who would do "the system's" bidding in exchange for rewards.
The attempt on Chebukati's life was reportedly made as the country anxiously awaited the outcome of the presidential results and after numerous threats to his family and commissioners failed.
