The High Court has allowed the National Assembly to proceed with the vetting process of the proposed Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Commissioners.

In his ruling, delivered on Thursday, May 29, 2025, Justice Lawrence Mugambi has stated that, according to the petition, the issue is not in the vetting and approval process in the National Assembly but the selection and nomination process.

“I will allow the vetting and approval process in parliament to proceed, but the court has a duty to determine the constitutionality of the issues raised in the petition on the selection and nomination process,” Justice Mugambi ruled.
