Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission CEO Ezra Chiloba at his Anniversary Towers office on August 16, 2017. He is ready to ready to resign under one condition. [Photo/Nation]Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) CEO Ezra Chiloba has denied allegations that he is under intense pressure to resign from the electoral body.Chiloba, who is the head of IEBC secretariat, has said that despite his 'differences' with the commission's chairman Wafula Chebukati, he has not asked him to resign."No one has been asked to resign. The position of the commission has been that we need to wait for the detailed judgment from the Supreme Court, audit ourselves and look at the areas for improvement, then we move from there," Chiloba told Nation.He added: "The question about resignation becomes difficult now because no one is able to tell where the responsibility lies, unless you get the full details. If the full ruling comes out and there is evidence that I was culpable as an individual, I will resign."However, Chiloba has said that despite the Supreme Court's findings, that the electoral commission had commited 'illegalities and irregularities', it doesn't 'necessarily lead to criminality'."The latter means that you intentionally tried to play the system, and that was not the case in our handling of the election process. If anything, a lot that went right can be counted and is self-evident. We had 1,882 elective positions across the country and they went through the same process and, in more than 95 per cent, people were satisfied with the outcome," Chiloba added.
