The process of removal from office of four IEBC commissioners who disputed President William Ruto's victory started Tuesday after the National Assembly received four petitions.

Speaker Moses Wetang'ula told the House that he had received the petitions to oust IEBC deputy chairperson Juliana Cherera and commissioners Francis Mathenge, Irene Masit and Justus Nyang'aya. The petitioners, Rev Dennis Ndwiga Nthumbi, the Republican Party, Geoffrey Langat and Owuor Steve Gerry, accuse the commissioners of alleged violation of the Constitution, gross misconduct and incompetence.
