President William Ruto has now appointed Erastus Edung Ethekon
as the new Chairperson of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
The Head of State, in a gazette notice dated June 10, 2025, also
appointed six new commissioners, among them Registrar of Political Parties Ann Njeri
Nderitu.
The others are: Moses Alutalala Mukhwana, Mary Karen Sorobit,
Hassan Noor Hassan, Francis Odhiambo Aduol, and Fahima Araphat Abdallah.
According to the notice, both the Chairperson and the
Commissioneres will serve in their new roles for a period of six years.
This comes after the new electoral body team, which was
nominated by President Ruto on May 8, was formally approved by the National Assembly last week following a vetting process.
