Tasks that await IEBC

Kenyans are staring at an election crisis following the protracted recruitment of IEBC chiefs — a process that has now taken a new twist after a court slammed brakes on the vetting of commission nominees by Parliament.

The new legal battle has far-reaching implications as the courts could quash the entire recruitment exercise and order fresh hiring of the election bosses.

President Ruto has already submitted IEBC chair nominee and commissioners to Parliament for vetting.

The High Court on May 19, 2025, temporarily stopped the vetting of IEBC nominees.
