The Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati has rejected calls by the Kenya Human Rights Commission(KHRC) to resign and disband the commission over its conduct in the August and October elections.

KHRC Executive Director David Kegoro said IEBC and its secretariat should be disbanded before the next elections to pave way for discussions on how to formulate a new independent electorate body.
