Katwa Kigen, a prominent lawyer and former ICC counsel for President William Ruto, has withdrawn his candidature from the ongoing Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioner interviews. Shortlisted for the coveted slot, Kigen cited concerns over his suitability and a desire to avoid "unnecessary diversion" from the commission’s critical mandate, amid scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest due to his close ties with the President. His exit marks a significant twist in the IEBC selection process as Kenya gears up for electoral reforms.
