The first batch of ballot papers for the governor seat arrived in the country on Tuesday night.
IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba said the ballot papers are for governor seat for 41 counties.
“We still expect the ballots for senate and women rep seats later this week,” Chiloba said.
He said the governor ballot papers for the remaining counties are expected to be delivered in the next batch together with the senate and women rep ballots.
The counties include Nyeri, Wajir, Siaya, Nairobi and Mombasa.
IEBC vice chairperson Consolata Nkatha said the ballot papers for MP and MCA will arrive in the country by August 3.
“We expect a total of about seven flights in the next three weeks,” Nkatha said.
Chiloba confirmed that the commission has started delivering non-strategic polling materials across the country to IEBC county warehouses.
He said they will be working together with the Postal Corporation in the delivery of strategic materials like ballot papers in the coming days.
“From where we seat we are confident that our processes are going to give us proper outcome in terms of the quality of the election,” Chiloba said.
The Al Ghurair tender for the Presidential ballots has however been put on hold by the courts.
