However, the Roots Party flag bearer professor George Wajackoyah did not assign agents to take part in the UK ballot paper inspection.
“Commissioners Boya Molu, Francis Wanderi and I, will lead the IEBC delegation to Greece and we shall be accompanied by representatives from Kenya Kwanza and Azimio,” Ms Cherera said.
“We have nominated two representatives for the trip. As for the names, I will give you later,” United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary-General Veronica Maina told the Nation.
The team was made to leave last Friday but they had to wait a little longer due to visa delays.
The key features to be monitored includes confirming whether the images of the running mates were printed according to the High Court order.
The court also ruled that the presidential and governor running mate images should be included on the ballot papers.
“We also want to know what security features those ballot papers have as well as the deficit; the ballot papers ready and the ones yet to be printed. We have done a checklist for them,” he added.
