IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati and the two remaining commissioners Abdi Guliye and Boya Molu failed to appear before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee on Wednesday.
The electoral agency commissioners cited their reason for failing to appear before the committee as the two by-elections the electoral agency was conducting.
In a letter to the National Assembly, Chebukati sought a new date to face legislators over chaos at the troubled electoral agency.
Baringo North MP William Cheptumo who heads the committee noted: "We have received a letter communicating why he is unable to appear we are satisfied with it."

Cheptumo stated that the National Assembly was in the process of changing the law to allow the appointment of new commissioners.
"Those who resigned, I believe, did so on their own motion. The remaining commissioners are duly appointed in the framework of the law. Our concern is not on the resignation of the remaining," he stated.
On Monday, vice-chair Consolata Maina led fellow commissioners Margaret Mwachanya and Paul Kurgat in quitting as divisions at the IEBC boiled over.
The commissioners have served for 14 months since their appointment in January 2017, eight months to the last elections.
They have four years and eight months of their fixed six-year term to go.

Chebukati, Guliye and Molu want to be paid to leave office with reports alleging that they asked for Ksh220 million as part of their send-off package.
