The IEBC selection panel has unveiled the names of 35 people who re-applied for the post of the commission's chairman.
Former Transition Authority Chairman Kinuthia Wamwangi is among the 35 who have joined the race for the top job at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Others who have applied for the position is Florence Muoti Mwangangi - former LSK representative at the Judicial Service Commission, Elias Kithure from Meru, Taib Ali Taib Bajabir from Mombasa and Collins Okinyi of Migori.
Professors Susan Abong’o from Kisumu and Sussy Gumo from Trans Nzoia were the only women applicants.
This comes after the team revoked the names of five candidates who sought to replace outgoing chairman Issack Hassan on grounds that they were unsuitable.
They were selected from a list of 13 applicants who sought to steer the electoral commission during the 2017 general election.
After the interviews, two names will be submitted to President Uhuru Kenyatta who will nominate the chairman and send the name to Parliament for vetting.
Uhuru will also receive nine names from which he shall nominate six commissioners.
