According to Raila, Chebukati’s deputy Juliana Cherera, one of the commissioners who raised alarm about the results, should monitor the two gubernatorial elections.
“Chebukati should disqualify himself from the elections ili Haki iweze kutendeka hapa, ajiondoe kwenye hii uchaguzi inayoendelea, aawachie wale hawana mapendeleo,” Raila said.
“Tunasema ya kwamba uchaguzi wa Mombasa na Kakamega utafanywa chini ya usimamizi wa naibu wa mwenyekiti wa IEBC, Juliana Cherera…”
Raila also added that the IEBC chairman went on announcing the presidential election results alone, despite the absence of six commissioners, four of whom raised concerns about the final results integrity.
“Yeye alienda pale peke yake kwa sababu alikuwa ashapewa hongo kubwa , akaenda pale kutangaza, yeye hana haya anasema uchaguzi ya Kakamega na Mombasa iendelee yeye akiwa hapo,” he added.
