The IEBC official went missing on August 11. He was at the East African School of Aviation tallying centre when he disappeared at 9: 45 am. He was later found dead.
A missing report had been made to the police. His body was found in a thicket on Monday in Mariko area and taken to a local morgue.
Police who visited the scene said he seemed to have been tortured to death.
The family of the deceased and police from Embakasi visited the mortuary and identified the body.
The killers and motive are yet to be established.
Plans were Tuesday underway to move the body to Nairobi. Earlier, police officers obtained CCTV footage showing the final moments of Musyoka.
The footage was under scrutiny by the cybercrime unit and police insisted that Musyoka was safe even though his whereabouts remained a puzzle.
When he made the announcement, IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati said they had tried to reach him but to no avail.
"Musyoka's family and the Commission have been trying to reach him without success. A report of a missing person has been made at Embakasi police station," Chebukati said on Monday.
