A flurry of activity, phone calls and a night meeting held on Saturday sealed the deal that saw three electoral commission members resign.

On Monday, commissioners Consolata Maina, Paul Kurgat and Margaret Mwachanya resigned citing poor leadership by Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati.
