•The IEBC has seven commissioners, including four who were only sworn into office in 2021.

•The new commissioners are Juliana Cherera (vice chair), Francis Wanderi, Irene Masit and Justus Abonyo.

The IEBC bosses have come under scrutiny amid claims the agency has been infiltrated by politicians.

This has reportedly triggered divisions among commissioners, similar to the acrimony that rocked the agency in 2017.
