Kamishna wa IEBC Prof..abdi Yakub Guliye amewasilisha hati ya kiapo mbele ya Mahakama ya Juu akidai kuwa Naibu Mwenyekiti wa shirika hilo Juliana Cherera alitaka kura za Rais mteule William Ruto zipunguzwe ili kulazimisha marudio ya uchaguzi.
Guliye, katika hati ya kiapo akijibu ombi la Raila Odinga la kupinga matokeo ya kura za urais, alidai kuwa Cherera alitaka kupotosha uchaguzi wa wananchi kwa kupunguza kura za Ruto na 233,211 ili kwamba kati ya wagombeaji wawili wakuu wa urais hakuna aliyefanikiwa kupata 50% na mojakizingiti.
Alifichua kuwa siku ya tangazo hilo, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa IEBC Marjan Hussein alikabidhi matokeo ya mwisho - ambapo Ruto alikuwa ameibuka mshindi - kwa makamishna wengine lakini wanne kati yao; akiwemo Cherera, Justus Nyang'aya, Irene Masit na Francis Wanderi, walipinga vivyo hivyo.
"Makamishna Masit na Wanderi walikuwa na maoni kwamba matokeo yanapaswa kusukumwa kuelekea marudio, ambayo kwa maoni yao yangekuwa 'kushinda-kushinda' hali ambayo nilishangaa "vipi?". .naibu Mwenyekiti Cherera alipendekeza kuwa tofauti hiyo si kubwa sana na inaweza kubadilishwa kwa kusogeza kura 233,211 kutoka kwa Mhe Ruto hadi katika kitengo cha kura zilizokataliwa,” alisema Guliye.
.“Baada ya kusikiliza maoni ya Makamishna wote, Mwenyekiti alisema hatazungumzia kupotoshwa kwa matakwa ya wananchi na kwamba atatangaza na kutangaza matokeo ya mwisho kwa mujibu wa hesabu zilizothibitishwa.
.Aidha alitaja mkutano wa awali kati ya makamishna wote wa IEBC na ujumbe kutoka Kamati ya Ushauri ya Kitaifa ya Usalama (NSAC) ambao inadaiwa walitaka ama wamtangaze Raila Odinga kuwa mshindi wa uchaguzi wa urais au kuhakikisha kuna duru ya pili.
.Kulingana na Guliye, makamishna hao wanne wakiongozwa na Makamu Mwenyekiti Cherera waliunga mkono mapendekezo ya timu ya NSAC huku yeye na Chebulati wakikataa.
.“…tulitoka nje ya chumba cha mkutano na kuelekea ukumbini ambako nilitakiwa kutangaza matokeo ya majimbo 27 yaliyobaki kabla ya Mwenyekiti kutoa tamko la mwisho. .matokeo ya majimbo hayo yalikuwa tayari yamehakikiwa mbele ya mawakala wa wagombea na kujumuishwa katika hesabu ya mwisho ya kidato 34C,” alisema Guliye.
“…kabla sijasoma matokeo kutoka kwa Majimbo yaliyosalia, baadhi ya misukosuko ilitokea. .kwa mazingira hayo, nisingeweza kutangaza matokeo ya matokeo 27 yaliyobaki na wala Mwenyekiti asingeweza kutangaza matokeo ya mwisho. Tulirudi kwenye chumba cha kushikilia. Nilijeruhiwa kwenye melee. .hali ya utulivu iliporejea, Mwenyekiti alitangaza matokeo ya mwisho katikati ya machafuko na hivyo hakuweza kupitia majumuisho yote ya Kaunti lakini hata hivyo alionyesha kuwepo kwa fomu hizo.”
==================================
IEBC Commissioner Prof. Abdi Yakub Guliye has filed an affidavit before the Supreme Court claiming that the agency Vice Chairperson Juliana Cherera wanted President-elect William Ruto’s votes reduced to force a re-run.
Guliye, in the affidavit responding to Raila Odinga’s petition challenging the presidential poll results, alleged that Cherera wanted to subvert the people’s choice by slashing Ruto’s votes by 233,211 so that neither of the two leading presidential candidates managed to secure the 50% plus one threshold.
He revealed that on the day of the announcement, IEBC CEO Marjan Hussein handed over the final results – in which Ruto had emerged victor - to the other commissioners but four of them; including Cherera, Justus Nyang'aya, Irene Masit and Francis Wanderi, objected to the same.
“Commissioners Masit and Wanderi were of the view that the results should be pushed towards a re-run, which in their view would be a 'win-win' situation to which I exclaimed "how?". Vice Chair Cherera suggested that the margin is not too big and could be manipulated by moving 233,211 votes from Hon Ruto to the rejected ballots category,” stated Guliye.
“Having heard the views of all the Commissioners, the Chairman indicated that he would not discuss subversion of the will of the people and that he would announce and declare the final results in accordance with the verified tallies.”
He further cited an earlier meeting between all the IEBC commissioners and a delegation from the National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC) that allegedly wanted them to either announce Raila Odinga as winner of the presidential election or ensure there is a run-off.
According to Guliye, the four commissioners led by Vice Chair Cherera were in favour of the NSAC team’s recommendation while he and Chebulati refused.
“…we walked out of the meeting room and headed towards the auditorium where I was to announce the results of the remaining 27 constituencies before the Chairman could make the final declaration. The results of those constituencies had already been verified in the presence of agents of the candidates and included in the final tally in Form 34C,” stated Guliye.
“…before I could read the results from the remaining Constituencies, some fracas ensued. In the circumstances, I would not be able to announce the results of the remaining 27 results and neither would the Chairman be able to declare the final results. We went back to the holding room. I was injured in the melee. When calm was restored, the Chairman declared the final results in the midst of chaos and consequently could not go through all the County summations but nonetheless indicated the availability of the forms.”
