Greetings, EBC chairman and commissioners.
Congratulations on your appointment and being entrusted with the enormous responsibility of midwifing Kenya's 15th democratic elections in 2027, which, by all indications, will be highly competitive.
As your team undergoes induction in Mombasa, the humid climate mirrors Kenya's political environment: hot with high levels of polarisation, ethnic balkanisation, youth protests, and their unfortunate hijacking by goons.
These are strong indicators of potential challenges the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission will face during and after 2027.
