The nine members were appointed by President William Ruto in a Gazette notice dated January 27, 2025.
Justice Dora Chepkwony said that the nine nominees reflect an overall attempt to ensure regional diversity on the IEBC selection panel.
The petitioner, Boniface Njogu had argued that the list didn't reflect regional balance because four of the nominees were from the same ethnic region.
