Two former chairs of Kenya National Commission on Human Rights – Florence Jaoko-Simbiri and Kagiwiria Mbogori – are among former commissioners seeking to reclaim the titles they lost when their terms ended. The finalists include four-time commissioner Murshid Abdalla, who recently lost the race to become the country's sole data commissioner. Abdalla was a commissioner at the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC), IEBC's predecessor. When IIEC was transiting to IEBC in 2011, Abdalla was shortlisted as one of the finalists, along with his former boss at IIEC Issack Hassan. Lawyer Koki Muli, who was also on the 2011 shortlist for chair, has been shortlisted for the IEBC commissioner role.
