President Ruto has gazetted IEBC chair Erastus Ethekon, six others, despite a court order halting their appointment and swearing-in.
The appointments, made official through a Gazette notice dated Tuesday, June 10, come after the National Assembly approved the names following a resumed vetting process.
Ruto named Ethekon as chairperson and appointed six commissioners for a six-year term: Registrar of Political Parties Ann Nderitu, Moses Alutalala Mukhwana, Mary Karen Sorobit, Hassan Noor Hassan, Francis Odhiambo Aduol and Fahima Araphat Abdallah.
The move comes after the High Court issued conservatory orders stopping the gazettement of the seven nominees and their swearing-in.
