The panel formed by President William Ruto for the selection of IEBC commissioners has announced its intention to continue with the exercise in a move that may reignite the standoff between the ruling Kenya Kwanza administration and the opposition.

In a press statement signed by Chairperson Nelson Makanda, the panel outlined how it plans to appoint new commissioners following deliberations with the National Assembly Speaker and Parliamentary Service Commission Chairperson Moses Wetangula.
