Jimmy Wanjigi education background is a huge debate following the sudden cancellation of his presidential dreams. Rants by the high net worth Safina Party leader could not help.
IEBC chairman Wanyonyi Wafula Chebukati defended the painful decision saying the aspirant lacked proper academic credentials. On the other hand, Wanjigi decried favouritism and political frictions. But then, how learned is Jimi Wanjigi?
Wafula Chebukati Jimmy Wanjigi education degreeno quest
To start with, IEBC claimed that Wanjigi did not produce an undergraduate degree required when clearing a presidential aspirant.
According to Chebukati, Wanjigi only presented academic transcripts from his ongoing classwork instead of a degree certificate.
Sources have intimated that Wanjigi is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts Degree in International Relations and Security Studies at Daystar University.
A confidential letter from the institution told Chebukati that Jimmy Wanjigi is set to graduate in December 2022.
The second reason for cancelling his candidature is failure to meet the deadline of submitting a minimum of 48,000 signatures from at least 24 counties.
He only managed to submit the expected signatures from 23 counties, thereby, missing the mark by one county.
Equally knocked from the August Polls is Hon Irungu Kang’ata because of a running mate glitch.
