Oral interviews for the 36 candidates shortlisted for the position of commissioner at the electoral agency kicked off yesterday, with the first interviewee opting out over forgery claims.

The seven-member Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Selection Panel chaired by Dr Elizabeth Muli, sitting at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) scheduled three interviews, among them that of Abdalla Mohammed who pulled out at the last minute. Dr Abdirizak Arale Nunow and Ms Anne Mwikali Kiusy were also interviewed.
