During the Press Briefing at Hotel Boulevard Nairobi.

National Liberal Party (NLP) Leader Dr. Augustus Muli has termed the removal from IEBC selection Panel as illegal.

He went further to back his statement by providing detailed letter that proves his win was legitimate.

The National Liberal party (NLP) participated in the elections for one of the 3 slots under PPLC to the IEBC selection panel, which were done in strict compliance with Section 2B of the first schedule of the IEBC (Amendment) Act, 2024 which requires that the process be competitive and transparent.

To ensure that the process was competitive and transparent, the PPLC elected its representatives by way of a secret ballot, with each fully registered political party having one vote.
There were three clusters namely:
1. A party other than a Parliamentary party or coalition of parties
2. Majority party or coalition of parties
3. Minority party or coalition of parties

The National Liberal Party (NLP) party leader, Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli and Dr. Koki Muli from the Wiper democratic movement represented the Azimio One Kenya coalition which is under the Minority coalition of
parties’ cluster.

The following information was shared to all political parties by the National Chairman PPLC, leading to the election.

1. On 23rd July 2024, the registrar of Political Parties wrote a letter to all Political Parties outlining the process of the elections.
2. A notice of Elections dated 23rd July 2024 was issued to all Political parties.
3. Further, a notice of procedure of elections for PPLC Nominee to the IEBC selection Panel was issued on the 24th of June 2024 by the returning officer.
4. A notice to all candidates for the election of the nominees to the IEBC selection panel was issued on the 25th of July 2024 by the returning officer. It was upon this notice that PPLC members in their respective clusters would proceed to apply to be candidates for the elections to the IEBC selection
panel.
5. It is imperative to note that the PPLC election process is exclusively guided and managed within
PPLC structures and processes. Any other election process outside these structures and processes is
NOT and cannot purport to be a PPLC process and the outcome of such remains foreign to the PPLC
as the nominating body. This is in compliance with the spirit and letter of the law requiring PPLC to conduct a competitive and transparent process as dictated by the letter from the clerk of the national assembly dated 16th July 2024 addressed to the Chairman of Political Parties Liason Committee.
6. Following this notice the PPLC members in their respective clusters proceeded to apply to be candidates for the elections to the IEBC Selection Panel guided and managed within PPLC structures and processes.
Our candidate, Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli of National Liberal Party (NLP) was vetted and approved to appear on the ballot paper to be elected at a duly constituted PPLC plenary on the 26th of July 2024. The election was conducted by IEBC on 26th July 2024 at Kyaka Hotel Machakos during a duly constituted PPLC plenary.

Results of the balloting were recorded in results declaration forms and indicated that candidate Augustus Kyalo Muli garnered 16 votes out of the possible 23 votes while Dr. Koki Muli had 7 votes. candidate Kyalo Muli
was further issued with a duly signed certificated by the Returning Officer and therefore declared the winner to represent the Minority coalition, with agents from both candidates signing and endorsing this exercise.

The above letter serves to let all the stakeholders be aware of malicious machinations purporting to subvert the outcome of that election as officially communicated by the office of the registrar of political parties and the PPLC.
