IEBC APPOINTS NEW CEO FEW MONTHS TO GENERAL ELECTIONS

Marjan Hussein Marjan has been confirmed as the CEO of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati said he was found as the most suitable during the just concluded recruitment process.

He was among five candidates who were shortlisted.

Marjan has held the post in an acting capacity since April 2019. His rise started after he was appointed by Chebukati as the October 2017 repeat presidential poll coordinator.

He will take over from Ezra Chiloba, who was fired over alleged gross misconduct.

Chebukati’s commission had shortlisted Marjan, the 2017 deputy CEO Nancy Wanjiku, Mabonga Joel, Zephaniah Okeyo and George Michugu from a list of over 500 applicants.
