Filling the seven positions is expected to strengthen leadership across departments that support voter awareness, financial accountability, public communication, electoral research and coordination of field operations across the country.
The recruitment comes just days after IEBC declared the position of Commission Secretary and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) vacant, inviting qualified Kenyans to apply for one of the commission’s most influential offices.
The Commission Secretary and CEO serves as the accounting officer and is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the electoral body’s secretariat.
These include overseeing voter registration, procurement of election materials, election logistics and implementation of commission policies.
Together, the recruitment of the CEO and seven directors marks one of IEBC’s biggest leadership hiring exercises in recent years as the commission strengthens its management team ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The appointments are expected to play a key role in enhancing the commission’s operational capacity and supporting preparations for the country’s next nationwide polls.
