However, Chebukati mentioned that upon summoning Mong'are, he failed to appear before the commission to explain further.
“As the chief returning officer, upon discovering new information on Walter Mong’are as relates to lack of academic qualifications, I invited him to appear before me today at 2 pm to clarify the issue. He failed to honour the invitation.

“Pursuant to regulation 42 (2c) of the Constitution, I hereby revoke the nomination certificate of Walter Mong’are of the Umoja Summit Party dated 2nd June 2022," Chebukati announced.
It now means that only four candidates have been cleared to run for president: David Mwaure, George Wajackoyah, Raila Odinga, and William Ruto.
