Kenya Kwanza’s running mate Rigathi Gachagua has expressed confidence in the effectiveness of the systems being used by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to conduct the elections.
Speaking after casting his vote at the Sagana primary school polling station in Mathira constituency, Gachagua stated that from what he had witnessed he was certain that the electoral body’s system is full-proof.
The lawmaker stated that the voting process is seamless and there will be no room for the introduction of dead voters or stuffing of ballot papers.
“We are very happy and extremely impressed by the preparedness of IEBC. The voting process is seamless and in instances where voters cannot be identified biometrically like the case of my 91-year-old aunty, the process they have taken is full proof.”
“It is impossible what I have witnessed to introduce dead voters or stuff ballot papers. I am certain the will of the people by this evening will prevail,” he said.
The Mathira MP, who was flanked to the Sagana polling station by his wife, aunt and children, urged Kenyans to turn out in their numbers and exercise their civil rights.
He also implored the government and relevant authorities to provide security during the voting process.
“The exercise so far is very peaceful and that is what we want for this country. I want to appeal for the people of Kenya to keep peace,” he added.
