Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Vice Chair Juliana Cherera has resigned.
She stated in a letter to President William Ruto that her stay is no longer viable due to the current situation.
“After careful consideration of the current events at the commission and with consultation with my family and lawyers, I accept that my stay at the commission is no longer tenable and therefore choose to vacate,” reads her resignation in part.
She expressed disappointment in what she termed as misinterpretation and misjudgement of actions done in good faith.
She said, ”Since joining the commission, I have dispensed my duties diligently, and meticulously and put a spirited effort in helping the commission deal with corporate governance issues under very difficult circumstances,” adding, “My cumulative actions done in good faith are unfortunately misjudged and misinterpreted.”
Last Friday, IEBC commissioner Justice Nyang’aya also resigned from his position.
“It is with a heavy heart that I tender my resignation as a commissioner of the IEBC effective today (Friday),” Nyang’aya said in a letter to President William Ruto.
Nyanga’aya and three other commissioners are accused of attempting to subvert the will of the people with regard to the August 9 presidential elections
The two others are Commissioners Irene Masit and Francis Wanderi.
