The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has appointed Moses Ledama Sunkuli as the acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Commission Secretary, effective immediately.

In a statement on Thursday, IEBC noted that Sunkuli, who is the current Commission’s Director of Electoral Operations, will serve in an acting capacity for a period of six (6) months or until the recruitment and appointment of a substantive CEO is finalized.

“The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) wishes to announce the appointment of Moses Ledama Sunkuli as the Acting Chief Executive Officer and Commission Secretary, effective immediately,” the statement read.

IEBC explained that the decision was made after the exit of former CEO Marjan Hussein Marjan and highlighted Sunkuli’s background within the institution.

“This appointment follows the exit of the former Chief Executive Officer. Sunkuli, who currently serves as the Commission’s Director of Electoral Operations, brings extensive experience and internal institutional knowledge to this role,” the statement added.

IEBC explained that the appointment is temporary as the recruitment process for a substantive CEO gets underway.

“Sunkuli will serve in an acting capacity for a period of six (6) months or until the recruitment and appointment of a substantive Chief Executive Officer is finalized. 

“The Commission is committed to fast-tracking the recruitment of a substantive Chief Executive Officer/Commission Secretary and ensuring a seamless transition, while maintaining the highest standards of excellence in service delivery to the Kenyan people,” the statement concluded.

This comes a day after IEBC confirmed Marjan’s exit.

In a statement on Tuesday, February 3, IEBC clarified that the exit was not abrupt but a mutually agreed decision, and that the process of finding his successor has already begun.
