President William Ruto has appointed a new selection panel to oversee the recruitment of nominees for the positions of Chairperson and members of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
A gazette notice issued on January 27, 2025, reveals the members of the new panel, which include Kione Lindah Gaiki, Professor Oloo Adams, James Evans Misati, Nicodemus Kipchirchir Bore, Ambassador Koki Muli Grignon, Carolene Kituku, Tanui Andrew Kipkoech, Dr. Nelson Makanda, and Fatuma Saman.
In addition, President Ruto has revoked the appointments made under Gazette Notice No. 2641 of 2023.
The previous panel had encountered legal challenges that caused delays in the recruitment process.
The new members are scheduled to be sworn in this morning at the Supreme Court building.
