Two petitioners seeking the removal of four IEBC commissioners are hinging their petitions on a nexus between Azimio-One Kenya coalition and the "Cherera four" during the August 2022 electioneering period.
They have also singled out and put commissioner Irene Masit in their cross-hairs arguing that she illegally holds office in accordance to a ruling by Justice Anthony Mrima delivered in June.
When the process kicked off yesterday, Geoffrey Langat, who is seeking the ouster of commissioners Juliana Cherera, Justus Nyangaya, Francis Wanderi and Masit, over alleged gross misconduct, violation of the Constitution, and incompetence, appeared before the National Assembly's Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) to defend his petition.
