IEBC Gets New Vice-Chairperson

Juliana Whonge Cherare has been unanimously elected as new vice-chairperson of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

IEBC in a statement issued on Wednesday September 15, 2021 said Cherare was unanimously elected during a plenary meeting held at the Commission Boardroom on Tuesday.

The electoral body further assured all stakeholders and the public of its commitment to delivering a free, fair and credible general election in 2022.

“The commission takes this opportunity to congratulate Cherera on her appointment,” reads the statement in part.

IEBC has been without a chairperson since the resignation of Connie Maina in 2018. 

The statement came just moments after the Catholic Bishops urged the Commission to move with speed and put in place in good time the necessary systems and processes to ensure free and fair elections.
