Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners on Monday morning resigned from office.
The three officials include: Consolata Maina, Margaret Mwachanya, and Paul Kurgat.
The officers have cited that chairman Wafula Chebukati failed to give proper leadership.
"The Commission Chair has failed to be the steady and stable hand that steers the ship in difficult times and gives directions when needed," declared the officials.

In a statement read by Ms Mwachanya, the commissioners announced: "The institution has continued to be dysfunctional with arbitrary decision-making, leaking of internal documents to serve personal goals and pursuing personal interests.
"All of which are against the laid down laws that govern the conduct of the Commission leadership and staff," they asserted.
The statement seen by Kenyans.co.ke further notes: "Under the current commission leadership, we have had many instances where statements have been issued purporting to give a position of the commission, yet those statements are a misrepresentation of facts."
Additionally, they mentioned that the removal of the Commission CEO, Ezra Chiloba, is a weighty matter and ought not to have been introduced as "a by the way."
They, however, appreciated the people of Kenya for giving them an opportunity to serve as commissioners of IEBC.
This adds to a pile of the scuffle in the commission after a fresh scandal emerged on Monday morning where Chebukati was accused of awarding tenders to a law firm he founded - Cootow and Associates.
