Former IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati and commissioners Boya Molu and Prof Abdi Guliye left the commission in January 2023, having stayed on after the resignations of Ms Juliana Cherera, Mr Francis Wanderi and Mr Justus Nyang'aya, and the dismissal of Ms Irene Masit by a tribunal investigating the conduct of the latter four after the 2022 general election.
This means that the IEBC has been without a full commission for nearly two years, and has missed a constitutional deadline of March 2024 to delimit constituency boundaries.
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka on Saturday threatened to lead nationwide protests should President William Ruto not meet a March 2025 deadline to constitute the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
The IEBC has remained without commissioners for nearly two years.
