Members of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Selection Panel have elected Dr Nelson Makanda as the chairperson.
The IEBC Selection Panel further elected Lindah Kiome as the Vice Chairperson.
“For the next 85 days or less, we, as the Selection Panel, have undertaken to ensure that we deliver on our mandate of giving Kenyans the next chairperson and members of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission,” Makanda said.
Makanda noted that the IEBC Act provides that the selection panel shall, within seven days of its appointment, invite applications from qualified persons and publish the names of all applicants and their qualifications in the gazette, two newspapers of national circulation and on the website of the Parliamentary Service Commission.
“In this regard, the panel shall, tomorrow, February 1, 2025, invite applications from qualified Kenyans for the positions of chairperson and members of the IEBC,” he stated.
