The voter wants IEBC to halt the upcoming by-elections in three counties.Mr Isaiah Biwott Kangwony has sued the IEBC and the Attorney -General claiming that the electoral agency is not properly constituted to manage an election.

The three by-elections are scheduled take place on August 17 in Baringo South (parliamentary), North Kadem (ward) and in Bobasi Chache (ward).

According to Mr Kangwony, presiding and holding by-elections in these areas would be illegal since three commissioners from the IEBC are out of office.

He also argues that the commission as currently constituted violates the two thirds gender rule.

"As currently constituted and owing to the resignation of its commissioners, IEBC cannot carry out its duties or undertake any such functions as the same would be contrary to the constitution, IEBC Act and various electoral laws," said Mr Oginga.
