The country is preparing for a "mini General Election", with several pending by-elections set to take place following the full constitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
The by-elections will serve as a litmus test for the political influence of President William Ruto, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.
IEBC Chairperson Erastus Ethekon, Vice Chairperson Fahima Abdallah, and Commissioners Anne Nderitu, Moses Mukhwana, Mary Sorobit, Noor Hassan, and Francis Oduol have a full in-tray as they assume office. "As I take office as the IEBC Chairperson, my responsibility is to serve Kenyans to the best of my abilities.
I would like to assure citizens that their voices will not only be heard but will count as we work towards delivering a free and fair general election," said Ethekon.
