The IEBC selection panel have announced that they have officially started the process of appointing IEBC Commissioners including the Chairman. This has started immediately after the collapse of bipartisan talks due to political disagreements between Azimio and Kenya Kwanza.
Nelson Makanda has dismissed reports that he received orders from president William Ruto to halt the process and give bipartisan a chance. Makanda is firm that the process of recruiting IEBC was stopped due to heightened political temperatures in the country.

Nelson Makanda has made it known that now that the bipartisan has collapsed, they do not have an option other than going on with their plan to recruit IEBC Commissioners. This is bad news to the Azimio leader Raila Odinga for he is not comfortable with IEBC selection panel.
However, it’s obvious that president Ruto followed the law firmly when he appointed the IEBC selection panel. The Azimio leadership refused to be part of the process of recruiting IEBC Commissioners and obviously this will affect them badly in future elections.
