Juliana Cherera has been elected as the new vice-chairperson of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Cherera, one of the newly-appointed IEBC commissioners, was unanimously elected to the position during a plenary meeting on Tuesday.
“The Commission is pleased to announce to members of the public and stakeholders that Commissioner Juliana Whonge Cherera was unanimously elected as the Vice-Chairperson of the Commission in a Plenary meeting held at the Commission Boardroom on Tuesday,” IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The Commission would like to assure all stakeholders and the public in general of its commitment to delivering a free, fair and credible 2022 General Election that meets the democratic aspirations of the people of Kenya.”
Cherera replaces Consolata Nkatha, who resigned from the commission in April 2018.
She is among the four IEBC commissioners that were recently appointed President Kenyatta. The other three include Francis Wanderi, Irene Masit, and Justus Abonyo.
Mtu anayefaa kuondoka mara moja IEBC ni Ndugu Wafula Chebukati. Mtu huyu aliwaruhusu watu wasiofaa kugombea uchaguzi kwenye viti muhimu sana nchini.
Wafula, hebu tuambie: Ndugu Miguna Miguna aliruhusiwaje kugombea uchaguzi huku akiwa raia wa nchi ya Canada?
Na je, mtu mwenye tabia za ajabu kama Ndugu Sonko alipatapataje nafasi ya kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi nchini?
Uchaguzi wa Kenya utaendelea kuwa na matatizo mengi iwapo Wafula ataendelea kusimamia tume hii ya uchaguzi.
