The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has announced November 27, 2025 as the date for by-elections in 24 electoral units across the country.

The mini-polls will fill 23 vacant seats, one senatorial, six parliamentary and 16 ward positions, making it a significant moment ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Aspirants seeking to contest must meet strict eligibility criteria.

Only Kenyan citizens by birth are allowed to run and those holding dual citizenship must first renounce it formally.
