Roots party presidential candidate George Wajackoyah has been cleared to contest for presidency in the August 9, elections.
Wajackoyah had been turned away on Monday because of insufficient signatures.
He managed to meet the requirements on Thursday when he reappeared before IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati.
He now becomes the second candidate to be cleared after Walter Mong'are of the Umoja Summit Party.
Appearing before at the Bomas of Kenya, he was accompanied by his running mate Justina Wamae who donned a black dress and a Rastafari scarf.
"We can now confirm that you have met the minimum requirements...we have accepted your nomination as a Presidential candidate for the 2022 General Election...congratulations," Chebukati said.
The IEBC chair awarded him with the certificate while urging him to conduct peaceful campaigns.
In his address, Wajackoyah could not hide his joy thanking God and the electoral commission which he said had people of integrity.
"Kenya is attaining the highest level of democracy, I want to thank the President for empowering this institution with the required resources to make it make proper determinations that are acceptable and that will go down as milestones of this country," he noted.
