Former IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati has once again reiterated that Kenya held its most accessible and credible elections in August 2022.

Chebukati's remarks accompanied his presentation on the 'Role of Technology in Improving the Integrity of the Electoral Process in Kenya'.

The Electoral Integrity Project had picked the project for their Annual Electoral Integrity Conference.

"In August 2022, Kenya held the freest, fairest and most credible election in its history. I recently presented a paper titled "Role of Technology in Improving the Integrity of the Electoral Process in Kenya". This video introduces the last mile test as key to achieving this feat," Chebukati said on Wednesday on a tweet.

The Azimio side, however, insists that the election was rigged in favour of President William Ruto.

In May, when the former Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission chair announced that he had been picked for the project, he said he would use the time to demystify the "server issue" which the Kenyan opposition had intensified calls to have opened.

"I am pleased to announce that my project titled "Role of Technology in Improving the Integrity of the electoral process in Kenya" has been accepted for presentation at Electoral Integrity's Annual Conference to be held on July 3-7! My talk will demystify "the server" in Kenyan polls," he said.

The Electoral Integrity Project (EIP) is based at the Royal Military College of Canada.

It among other things, seeks to strengthen elections in contests around the world through innovative and policy-relevant scientific research that achieves international standing in the social sciences.
