Several constituencies could be set for by-elections after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission is fully constituted within the next two months.
Interviews to determine the new chairperson for the electoral body commenced on March 27, with several renowned names hoping to impress the selection panel enough to land the job.
More importantly, the appointment of a new chairperson alongside commissioners comes at a crucial time, as several constituencies in the country have been operating without a lawmaker for one reason or another.
The IEBC, through its new commissioners and chairperson, will be mandated to conduct any pending by-elections, but this will be largely dependent on the completion of the reconstitution process and the commission's subsequent preparations.
