Several decisions made by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) could be up for legal challenges following the findings by the Court of Appeal that they have no quorum to conduct business.

Majority of the seven appellate judges found that the commission was not properly constituted and lacked the required quorum to approve the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) process to amend the Constitution.
