Hassan 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.
Should Parliament approve his nomination, Hassan 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.
