President William Ruto has said that outgoing IEBC boss Wafula Chebukati's Monday revelations - that he survived targeted attacks during the August 9, 2022 General Election - point to a well-planned scheme that was meant to overturn the will of the Kenyan voters.

Speaking at State House in Nairobi on Tuesday, January 17 during a meeting with representatives of commissions and independent institutions, President Ruto said Chebukati remained steadfast despite coercion attempts and delivered fair polls.
