    "content": "As the Co-Chair has said, a total of 348 applicants put in their applications. Most of them were party candidates, but a good number of them - I think 69 - were independent candidates. It was unfortunate that some of the applicants, particularly the independent ones, were unable to meet the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission threshold for independent candidates as required by the law of this country. That is how we ended up not having a single independent candidate being presented to the House. We ended up with a ballot paper which had two sets of names of the coalitions represented in the House. There were 15 persons from the Kenya Kwanza Coalition and 12 from the Azimio la Umoja-One Coalition. Members of the House will have the opportunity to elect five out of the 15 from the Kenya Kwanza Coalition and four out of the 12 from the Azimio la Umoja Coalition. This will give us nine Members to represent Kenya in EALA."
