The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has distanced itself from a viral social media post alleging that over two million ghost voters will be removed from the voter register before the 2027 General Election.
The Commission flagged the post as fake and clarified that it currently has no chairperson or commissioners in office, and any statements attributed to its members were misleading.
The fake post had alleged that the incoming Commission Chairperson, Erustus Ethekon, had been appointed and was leading a cleanup of the voter register.
It further purported that Kiambu County was leading with the highest number of ghost voters, followed by Meru, Nairobi, and Nyeri Counties.
