Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Erastus Ethekon’s beautiful family has taken netizens by surprise with their charm and elegance.

He was sworn in alongside six commissioners by Chief Justice Martha Koome.

After Ethekon and his family took photos with Koome and other officials, they asked his family to join him.

His wife caught the eye of netizens with some, noting that she was gorgeous. She wore a figure-hugging dress. Not much is known about her.

He stood next to his gorgeous wife and their two adorable children.

The IEBC chairman lovingly placed his hand on his young son’s chest as they posed for a photo.

In the video, the young boy was seen holding onto his father’s legs, not wanting to let him go, and his mum had to talk him out of it.

In another video, while his family was requested to take photos, his daughters stood next to Ethekon.

Kenyans marvelled at how gorgeous his wife was and her striking fashion sense.

Here is what they had to say:

Beverlyne Peslye:

"The worst to do in this country when in public office is to expose your family."

Biashara zetu 101:

"She's very smart 👌 but wrong set up."

Annie Mwesh:

"Mbona mnataka kupea this nice family stress za politics."

"I can't fall into trap of introducing my family into public in such sensitive position."

Addressing concerns of presumed bias, he assured Kenyans that their aspirations cast at the ballot would be preserved under his tenure as chairman of the IEBC.

He said that his loyalty was to the people of Kenya.

Ethekon asked Kenyans to stand firm in their pursuit of democracy, which is brought about by an election.

He noted that the IEBC would need the people's help to reach its goal of protecting the country's and democracy's dignity through fair and free elections.

Little was known about the IEBC chairman before he was nominated for the position.

Ethekon is a decorated scholar who holds sterling academic credentials.

A photo of his flat roomed house in Turkana surfaced after his nomination.

The house had two decorative brick columns on the side.

The house was also surrounded by a mesh fence with a black metallic gate at the entrance.

The chair reportedly does not live in the house; a hired guard does.
