The Independent Election and Boundaries Commission will on today (Monday) launch the post-election evaluation report at Safari Park, Nairobi.

IEBC chairperson Wafula Chebukati will launch the report as he delivers his speech on his tenure at the commission.

Attorney General Justin Muturi will deliver the keynote address.

Other dignitaries expected to attend the event include Chief Justice Martha Koome, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi, Speaker of the Moses Wetang'ula, and Council of Governors chairperson Anne Waiguru.

Chebukati, commissioners Prof Abdi Guliye and Boya Mule will leave the office on January 17, having served the constitutional six-year term.

The trio goes in history as the first set of election chiefs to complete a constitutional term in office.

Their predecessors were either hounded out of office after elections in what was becoming the tradition at the polls agency.

Over the weekend, the three election chiefs bid farewell to IEBC staff in an emotional ceremony that also provided an opportunity to reflect on the achievements and challenges in the last election cycle.

“The commission held final post-election meetings with all IEBC field staff in readiness for the launch of the Post-Election Evaluation Report for the 9th August 2022 General Election. The report will be launched on Monday 16th January 202,” IEBC said in a statement.

“Participants also proposed areas of improvement as the commission continually strives to move Kenya towards a stronger democracy.”

Molu took to his Twitter handle to express his gratitude to the staff and polls agency for the time he has served. 

“Long journey of six years at IEBC is about to come to an end. Looking forward to a happy exit in the next few days. Thanks to our staff for this wonderful farewell,” Molu tweeted then.
