The IEBC Commission said it was suspended by Dr Akombe's decision to resign and promise to provide a detailed report. Chairman Wafula Chebukati is expected to address journalists later today.
"My decision to leave the IEBC will irritate some of you, but not because I failed to try it." I tried in my ability to focus on the current situation and the environment, especially when the lives of people are at stake, "he said in the statement. .
"The commission has now become part of the current dispute."
"It has been difficult to continue with a meeting of the Commission where the Commissioners are always obliged to make a decision by following their position instead of focusing on the weight of the matter being discussed.
"It has been difficult to come from television to defend the positions that they differ from because of joint responsibility.
"I have reached the decision that I can no longer make a significant contribution to the Commission and to my nation as a Commissioner."
