The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has rescheduled the delivery of its judgment in the case against Kipipiri MP Wanjiku Muhia to Friday afternoon, days after postponing the ruling.
In a media invitation issued on Friday morning, the commission said its Electoral Code of Conduct Enforcement Committee will deliver the judgment at 3 pm at the IEBC boardroom on the sixth floor of Anniversary Towers in Nairobi.
"The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), through its Electoral Code of Conduct Enforcement Committee, invites members of the media to cover the delivery of judgment in the matter involving Wanjiku Muhia, Member of the National Assembly for Kipipiri Constituency," the notice reads.
The ruling had initially been scheduled for Monday morning before the commission deferred it, saying a new date would be communicated later.
At the time, the IEBC did not give reasons for the postponement.
