A voter has moved to court seeking to halt preparations by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for the upcoming by-elections in three counties.
Mr Isaiah Biwott Kangwony has sued the IEBC and the Attorney -General claiming that the electoral agency is not properly constituted to manage an election.
The three by-elections are scheduled take place on August 17 in Baringo South (parliamentary), North Kadem (ward) and in Bobasi Chache (ward).
According to Mr Kangwony, presiding and holding by-elections in these areas would be illegal since three commissioners from the IEBC are out of office.
Through lawyer Arnold Oginga, he argues that it is a waste of public funds if the preparations continue and the exercise conducted yet the constitution of IEBC is considered not neutral to result to a free and fair elections.
He also argues that the commission as currently constituted violates the two thirds gender rule.
