More nominees to a panel meant to recruit new electoral commissioners have been picked, as the serving nine poll officials gave notices of their resignation.

The list of persons to recruit new commissioners of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) was
completed after all three groups mandated by law submitted their names to the Parliamentary Service Commission
(PSC) for onward transmission to President Uhuru Kenyatta for appointment.
