    "content": "The process allowed as many independent candidates as possible because, in our Constitution, every person is eligible for any election. A total of 42 independent candidates were shortlisted, but out of that, only one candidate by the name Duncan Wachira Ndegwa qualified in terms of the documents required. In that regard and as this House knows, only the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties can identify if a candidate really qualifies to be an independent. The presiding officers forwarded the names and documents of these independent candidates to the IEBC. The IEBC confirmed through a letter that this candidate also fell short of the threshold as per the Election Act. Not all of his 1,000 signatures were accurate, as far as the IEBC is concerned."
