On Wednesday, June 30, 2021, a selection panel administered psychometric tests for the 36 shortlisted candidates who were selected from a pool of 660 applicants.

The candidates are eyeing four positions at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), left vacant following the exit of Roselyne Akombe, Paul Kurgat, Connie Maina and Margaret Mwachanya after the 2017 General Elections.

The successful applicants are currently undergoing oral interviews which are expected to run till July 22.
