According to Duale, the constitution does not a provision that states where IEBC chair and CEO should come from.

“CEO Chiloba applied for the IEBC job position and was recruited in a very fair, transparent, competitive and vigorous process and so is the current chair. The individuals bringing all this claims simply believe in ethnic politics,” he said.

Addressing the press in Garissa town, Duale further lauded President Uhuru for the nomination of Chebukati.
