Two Kenyan voters have moved to the High Court seeking to stop the vetting and approval of President William Ruto's nominees for the positions of chairperson and commissioners of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

Kelvin Roy Omondi and Boniface Mwangi are seeking interim conservatory orders to suspend any consideration, vetting, or approval of the seven nominees by the National Assembly.
