The beleaguered electoral commissioners have vowed not to resign despite sustained criticism by the Opposition over corruption allegations and credibility concerns.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) swore to stay put and preside over the 2017 General Election – brushing aside election boycott threats by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi, as well as concerns raised by other groups.
