Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission says that the Court of Appeal used non-existent law to find that it had no quorum to verify Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) signatures.

In its new filings filed before the Supreme Court, the electoral agency argues that sections of IEBC Act, which the Court of Appeal and High Court relied upon to fault it on quorum, had been quashed by the High Court in a case filed by Katiba Institute.
