The committee hearing the petitions against the four IEBC commissioners have adjourned sittings to Tuesday to allow the defence team of vice chairperson Juliana Cherera to file a response.
Justice and Legal Affairs Committee chairman George Gitonga said the decision was unanimous to ensure free and fair exercise.
The decision followed an application by Cherera to have the sitting adjourned for 10 days to allow her ample time to respond to the petitions.
Lawyer Apollo Mboya representing Cherera had sought for adjournment citing Article 50 of the Constitution on fair hearing.
"This committee is inclined to grant adjournment however it is not along the terms asked for but according to terms considered as fair by the Committee," Gitonga said.
"Hearing of this matter will proceed tomorrow November 29 from 8 am."
Earlier, Cherera demanded adjournment of the committee sitting over recent President William Ruto's tweet referring to the four commissioners as rogue.
Through Mboya Cherera said Ruto's tweet is injurious to her and appears to suggest a predetermined conclusion.
The lawyer said her client is already prejudiced given that the President is the one mandated by law to form a tribunal once the Parliament finishes its work.
"We need better particulars. The tribunal will be formed by a person who has referred to the Commissioners as rogue," Apollo said.
"We seek the House to adjourn to obtain particulars from His Excellency the President. The petitioners however opposed the adjournment call claiming the lawyer is playing delaying tactics."
