Others nominated to head the elections body are: Consolata Nkatha Bucha Maina, Boya Molu, Dr Roselyne Kwamboka Akombe, Dr Paul Kibiwott Kurgat, Ms Margaret Wanjala Mwachanya and Prof Abdi Guliye.

The change of IEBC bosses follows countrywide protests led by Opposition leaders, who accused the incumbent commissioners of incompetence, and plotting to rig the 2017 polls.

The commissioners had resigned from their positions, and will exit office after the new officers are sworn in.
