IEBC Urges Kenyans to Ignore Claims of Electoral Malpractices The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has expressed concern about statements by politicians on election malpractices in the country.
In a press release sent to newsrooms, the Commission said such utterances are unacceptable and reckless in a democratic society like Kenya. "While IEBC will constitute the Electoral Code of Conduct Enforcement Committee as prescribed under Article 84 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, read together with Section 110 of the Elections Act, the Committee has jurisdiction only during the election period in accordance with the judgement of Sabina Chege Supreme Court Petition No. 23 (E026) of 2022," read the statement.
While it should also be noted that the IEBC has not declared any elections, the Commission further adds that there is no gazettement or declaration that has been made to warrant such desirous political utterances and propaganda and that the country is not in a campaign period at the moment.
Meanwhile, the IEBC maintains that it is now fully constituted and will engage with stakeholders, including the political parties and leaders to discuss means and ways of restoring trust and confidence in the country's electoral processes and outcomes.
