Political Parties Liaison Committee has called for an audit of the 2022 presidential election results.
Appearing before the National Dialogue Committee at Bomas of Kenya on Monday, PPLC said the audit will eliminate doubts about the results announced by IEBC.
"It is not too late. We can still do it and put the doubts and arguments to rest," said PPLC national chair Evans Misati.
The proposal by PPLC was a shot in the arm for Azimio leader Raila Odinga, who has been insisting that his victory was stolen and that an audit of the results would substantiate his claims.
The audit was one of the demands by Raila as he called for nationwide anti-government protests.
In the submissions, PPLC noted that it is policy that IEBC keeps its records for three years.
"Let's do a complete audit of the presidential election results," Misati maintained.
PPLC is created under Section 38 of the Political Parties Act.
It comprises all registered political parties and provides a dialogue platform between parties, the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission and the Registrar of Political Parties.
Azimio has maintained that the cost of living, audit of the 2022 presidential election results and restructuring and reconstitution of the IEBC form part of the talks.
However, Deputy President Rigathi Gachangua has said the audit of the 2022 presidential election results should be dropped from the National Dialogue Committee agenda.
The DP said the 2022 presidential election was audited by the Supreme Court, which declared William Ruto as the validly elected President.
“Discussing the 2022 presidential election should be dropped. Let them proceed with the other agenda. Let them talk about reconstituting IEBC, embedding the Office of Prime Cabinet Secretary and others,” he said.
PPLC further proposed that presidential election results should be transmitted to the national tallying centre, media houses and a public portal as well.
Misati said the move would go a long way in eliminating doubts.
