IEBC selection panel on Monday elected Nelson Makanda as the chairman. Makanda will be deputised by Charity Kisotu.

The panel said they will do a good job and asked Kenyans to pray for them.

"Kenyans pray for us because this work is not very easy. We want to assure Kenyans that we will do a good job," Makanda said.

He said the panel will place advertisements in tomorrow's dailies inviting suitable candidates for the chairperson and commissioners of the IEBC.

The elections come a week after President William Ruto gazetted the seven-member panel charged with the recruitment of the Commission to replace Wafula Chebukati's team.
