Raila refused to concede saying Uhuru did not get 1.4 million votes more than he did and that there were malpractices.

He has made demands for the election, including a team other than the one headed by commission chairman Wafula Chebukati.

On Tuesday, IEBC released the list of officials who will be in charge of the election.

The three-month appointments were of a project coordinator and officials to run the information technology, logistics, operations and training as well as the national tallying centre.

Chebukati's gazette notice stated campaigns will run from 7am to 6pm and end on October 15, 48 hours before the vote.

He further noted the registration of voters and revision of registers was suspended until November 8.

The chairman said political parties and candidates will appoint and submit to the commission the names of the national, county and constituency chief elections agents on or before October 2.

"The polling station and the tallying centre shall remain as published by the commission on June 30," he said.
