Former Farmers Party Leader Irungu Nyakera has warned that 27 constituencies in Kenya could be scrapped if the delayed boundary review process is not started soon, thus affecting the 2027 elections.
In a statement made on Tuesday, April 22, he warned that if the issue is not resolved soon, these constituencies might legally cease to exist.
This would mean no Members of Parliament could be elected from them in the 2027 General Election. "To avert an impending crisis, the IEBC should be immediately reconstituted and the NADCO legislative proposals enacted to either extend the timeline for boundary review or provide permanent protection for these constituencies.
The Supreme Court should also give its advisory opinion and provide legal clarity," he added.
