Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati has announced that the electoral body will make changes as soon as the Supreme Court delivers its reasoned judgement.
Speaking for the first time after Monday's ruling that upheld President Uhuru Kenyatta's win, Mr Chebukati assured that none of the IEBC commissioners will be resigning.
He stated that the Commissioners would embark on a public release of its roadmap and the way forward in terms of reforms in the electoral body.

Chebukati emphasised that the apex court had vindicated the IEBC of any malpractice during the October 26 repeat poll in its latest ruling.
"The Supreme Court confirmed the election of October 26 was done within the law and constitution," he stated.
Mr Chebukati spoke on Wednesday during the annual Jurists Conference that was held at the Serena Beach Hotel in Mombasa.
He also commended presiding officers and other officials who conducted the October poll for a job well done.
Kenya Human Rights Commission Executive Director George Kegoro had demanded that the Chairman publicly state when the Secretariat would vacate office.
"Chebukati should put in place a transition plan, the country will need a long time to prepare for the next election preferably without the current IEBC," Mr Kegoro stated.
The National Super Alliance (NASA) had adamantly agitated for electoral reforms ahead of the October 26 poll as part of their irreducible minimums agenda.
