Watch: Nominated IEBC commissioner Francis Aduol faces vetting panel

Nominated IEBC commissioner Francis Aduol has appeared before the National Assembly's Justice and Legal Affairs Committee for vetting.

The public hearings are being held in the Mini Chamber at County Hall, Nairobi.

Aduol was nominated by President William Ruto on May 8, 2025, as part of the process to reconstitute the electoral body following the expiry of the previous commissioners’ terms and the resignation of others in the wake of the contested 2022 General Election.

He is a former Vice-Chancellor of the Technical University of Kenya (TUK), serving the institution between 2013 and May 2023.

Aduol holds a Doctor of Engineering degree in Geodesy from the University of Stuttgart in Germany, a Masters of Arts in economics from the University of Nairobi, Masters of Science degree in surveying and a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering (Surveying and Photogrammetry) from the same institution.

Should Parliament approve his nomination, Aduol will join the commission tasked with overseeing Kenya’s electoral processes, including the critical 2027 General Election, which is expected to be a key test of the country’s democratic institutions.

The vetting exercise started in the morning with nominated IEBC Chair Erastus Ethekon, Anne Nderitu and Moses Mukhwana appearing first, second and third, respectively, before the committee.

In the afternoon, Hassan Noor Hassan also appeared before the panel.
