He also expressed confidence that the commission will remain steady under the leadership of CEO Hussein Marjan and the next team of commissioners.

"We ran a free fair credible and transparent election in 2022. We have put in place structures that the new team should build on, we have standard operating procedures and manuals. We have a strong secretariat led by our CEO Marjan," he added.

Attorney General Justine Muturi who was present at the event asked President Ruto to find Chebukati another job after his IEBC exit.

“Mr. Chebukati you are not retiring. I hope this country and this administration should find some other place for you to continue leading this country with that kind of resolve,” Muturi stated.
