The fate of four electoral body commissioners hangs in the balance as the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) prepares to table a report on petitions seeking their removal from office during a special sitting of the House.

The Standard has learnt that the committee, which spent the past week probing four petitions filed against Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Vice Chairperson Juliana Cherera and commissioners Francis Mathenge, Irene Masit and Justus Nyang'aya, is leaning towards declaring the petitions valid.
