The current IEBC commissioners were sworn into office in January 2017 and was reduced to six when Roselyn Akombe resigned before the repeat presidential polls.
The resignation of three electoral commissioners last month was instigated by ‘external forces’ determined to sabotage the work of the commission, chairman Wafula Chebukati has said.
Mr Chebukati on Wednesday told the Senate Justice and Legal Affairs Committee that since the resignation of the commission vice-chairperson Connie Nkatha Maina and commissioners Margaret Mwachanya and Paul Kurgat, he has been receiving calls at night from people he did not name telling him to resign.
