A section of Turkana leaders has urged politicians to allow the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman, Erastus Ethekon, to do his work freely.

Led by Turkana Governor Jeremiah Lomorukai, the leaders said attacks by a section of politicians against the poll agency chairman were meant to intimidate him.

They accused the impeached Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua, of having a vendetta against the IEBC chairman and of making unsubstantiated claims against him.
