[Elvis Ogina, Standard]Bipartisan committee co-chair, George Murugara has affirmed that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) selection process will continue as scheduled. The bipartisan committee’s top agenda was finding a solution to the mode of selection of the new IEBC commissioners. "The lack of communication and the absence of Azimio members during the talks are clear indications that they lack confidence in the process. However, despite this setback, we remain steadfast in our belief that the IEBC selection process should move forward as planned," stated Murugara. Let us prioritize meaningful dialogue over political manoeuvres for the greater good of our nation.”Murugara’s statement comes days after Azimio Chief Raila Odinga declared the coalition's withdrawal from the bipartisan talks.
