The Jubilee Party on Tuesday asked IEBC to postpone its earlier planned meeting until the Supreme Court delivers its full judgement on the August 8 poll petition.

The commission had invited the party and its competitor NASA for the meeting on Wednesday to iron out issues bordering on the fresh polls.

The apex court is expected to deliver the full judgement tomorrow, a situation Jubilee Party Secretary General Raphael Tuju said will affect the meeting's agenda.

In a letter, Tuju asked IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati to host the meeting after the party digests the issues expected from the court's judgement.

"We will need to go through the ruling so that our contribution can be more constructive as the issues that emerge from it might have a bearing on the agenda of the meeting," Tuju said.

The Judiciary registrar made the announcement on Tuesday that the delivery will begin at 10am.

NASA candidate Raila Odinga went to the top court to challenge the results saying there were malpractices and that he did not lose fairly.

(crooks) and said he will fix the judiciary.
