The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) after being without commissioners for a year has moved to the Supreme Court.
The Commission moves to court to seek an advisory opinion over delaying the delimitation of constituencies’ boundaries and other electoral processes due to the lack of commissioners.
The electoral agency through its chief executive Marjan Hussein moved to the highest court on Thursday to seek a temporary solution to the stalemate.t argued that this has been occasioned by the failure to recruit a new chair and six commissioners as the constituency boundary review timeline has kicked in without the agency being properly constituted.
Marjan said that the commission faces a serious constitutional crisis over failure to undertake a review of electoral boundaries by March 2024 which Attorney General Justin Muturi has since said will have far-reaching consequences on the country’s political stability, social cohesion, and integrity.
