Nairobi — The Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) has suspended the decision by Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)to interdict Deputy Chief Executive Officer Ruth Kulundu pending the hearing of a cases challenging it.

In the orders, Justice Jacob Gakeri further directed that the matter be certified as urgent, and the application be served upon the electoral commission within 14 days.

The application is now set for an inter partes hearing and further directions on October 24.

IEBC CEO Marjan Hussein Marjan accused Kulundu of misconduct for arranging an illegal commission plenary meeting without approval.

In the meeting, the four commissioners who disputed the 2022 presidential election results picked law firms that would represent the commission in the consolidated presidential election petition.

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Director of Communications Phillip Etale stated that the legislators will converge at Koinange Street where they will start the walk to the agency's Anniversary offices.

Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi and Nominated MP Sabina Chege last week claimed that the move to interdict Kulundu was a witch-hunt choreographed by Commission's Chairperson Wafula Chebukati's wing in the commission for having assisted the four dissenting IEBC commissioners.
