Immediate Former IEBC Chair Wafula Chebukati has shared a message to Kenyans thanking them for allowing him to serve the country.
After six years of service, Chebukati and commissioners Boya Molu and Abdi Guliye left the commission after their term ended on January 17.
The emotional message saw Chebukati mention the challenges he faced as a commission even as he explained how he managed to keep the boat sailing at the most difficult moment.
"I was appointed the chairperson of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission on January 18, 2017, for a constitutional term of six years. Yesterday I completed my term. It has been an honour,” he said.

The IEBC Chair expressed his satisfaction with the work he had done at the helm of the IEBC saying he had left it with solid governance structures and a stable permanent secretariat.
“To the IEBC staff, thank you for working tirelessly and with dedication despite difficult circumstances at times. You are the true heroes,” he said.
He passed a message to the incoming commission urging them to adhere to the constitution.
“To the future commission, fidelity to the law is the key to success at IEBC. God bless IEBC. God bless Kenya,” he said.
On Monday, Chebukati said he has no regrets as he bows out.
“I exit contented that we gave it our best to this commission. We chartered and weathered storms that threatened the existence of the commission,” he said.
In October 2022, President William Ruto declared vacancies at the commission.
