The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has appointed Ruth Kulundu as Acting Commission Secretary and Chief Executive Officer. The appointment follows the expiry of Moses Sunkuli's six-month tenure in the role. Kulundu, who has been serving as one of the commission's two Deputy CEOs alongside Obadiah Keitany, will hold the position for two months or until a substantive CEO is appointed. As Emily Chebet reports, she takes over at a critical time as the commission intensifies preparations for the 2027 General Election.
