These changes are intended to strengthen internal accountability, improve institutional preparedness, and ensure leadership continuity,\u201d Ethekon said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chair emphasized that the Secretariat plays a vital role in service delivery on electoral management and related matters, adding that reforms will focus on effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and results-oriented systems to guarantee credible, free, and fair elections in Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Commission also acknowledged Marjan\u2019s contribution, highlighting his leadership during the period when the IEBC operated without a fully constituted panel of Commissioners until July 11, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe appreciate the work of Mr. Marjan, who was a committed servant and offered his professional services to IEBC. We wish him well in his future endeavors,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethekon assured Kenyans and stakeholders that the Secretariat changes would not disrupt ongoing electoral activities, including by-elections and preparations for the 2027 General Elections, but rather aim to enhance the effectiveness and accountability of the Commission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IEBC CEO Hussein Marjan exits by mutual consent amid accountability push over annulled Magarini parliamentary election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12320,"featured_media":792514,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4625,26],"tags":[1981],"coauthors":[407],"class_list":["post-792512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-top-stories","tag-featured"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Marjan exits IEBC &#039;by mutual consent&#039;
