Speaking on Wednesday, KHRC Executive Director George Kegoro accused Chebukati of overseeing a fraudulent electoral process that led to the nullification of the presidential elections in September.

“Chebukati and his team faced external interference as they prepared for the elections but they have not helped themselves by the way they have managed their internal terrain where they are in charge,” he said.

“I think Chebukati should tell Kenyans within what period the commissioner will vacate office to allow the country to have a substantive conversation that is not tied down to the commissioners of the IEBC,” he added.

However, in a quick rejoinder, Chebukati dismissed the group's calls, maintaining that he is in office legally.
