The commission on Sunday turned away presidential aspirant Peter Kingori and his running mate for lack of all the necessary documentation required to run for the August polls.

According to IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati, King’ori fell short of the required signatures after he presented only 65 of the 48,000 signatures required.

Further, the duo was dismissed after the running mate failed to present a duly filled electoral code of conduct, a duly filled self declaration form and passport.

He was however given until June 6 to comply with the requirements.
