Three of the four electoral commissioners who questioned the validity of Kenyan President William Ruto’s victory in the August election have resigned, avoiding a controversial investigation into their conduct by a tribunal.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) vice-chairperson Juliana Cherera, commissioners Justus Nyang’aya, Irene Masit and Francis Wanderi, were due to start appearing before the tribunal led by a Court of Appeal judge Friday after their suspension by President Ruto last week.
