Kenyans respond on social media after Ezra Chiloba says he will not resign

Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ezra Chiloba has stood his ground amidst pressure, insisting that he will step down as IEBC CEO.

Speaking to KTN News’ Sophia Wanuna, Chiloba said that they will have to change the manner in which results were transmitted In the August 8thpoll, after the Supreme Court nullified the presidential election results.

He said that he still has a responsibility of overseeing the preparation of the October 26th poll, streamlining processes in the Commission.

He welcomed the UNDP in overseeing the printing process, saying Dubai-based firm Al Ghurair will still print the required ballot papers.

NASA vowed to remove Chiloba and other IEBC officials from office and would not go into another election with him as the CEO.

Kenyans took to social media to react to Chiloba's message:
