The country is facing an unprecedented situation of an electoral commission without a team as the terms of the chairperson and two commissioners end, while four others are facing a tribunal.

Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Vice Chairperson Juliana Cherera and commissioner Justus Nyang'aya, who are part of a quartet facing the tribunal, resigned last week.
