Kenya is likely to have a new Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in the next 14 days after President William Ruto officially received a report on nominees for the crucial commission two years before the election.
According to the IEBC Act, the president has seven days to decide on who will be the country's next IEBC chairperson and commissioners and submit the names to Parliament.
Parliament then has seven days to vet the nominees and return the approved names to the president for appointment.
In an official statement, President Ruto acknowledged receiving the names on Tuesday, May 6, and explained that he will nominate the candidates he deems fit for the various positions and forward them to Parliament.
