A recent report by TIFA has revealed that 50 per cent of Kenyans have 'no confidence at all' in the integrity of the upcoming 2027 general elections.
According to the report, which was released on Wednesday, May 5, the Kenyans believe that the upcoming general polls will mainly be compromised by factors such as political interference, graft, and failures of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
TIFA has further noted that 18 per cent of other Kenyans believe that other factors, such as insecurity, refusal of the president and other candidates to accept defeat, technological failures, a history of rigging, and Insufficient time to prepare for the elections, will sabotage the integrity of the upcoming elections "Among the 50 per cent of Kenyans who have no confidence in the next election's integrity, the most commonly expressed concerns are about political interference, graft, and failures of the IEBC (30 per cent, 29 per cent and 23 per cent, respectively), but it is clear that these three categories are somewhat overlapping as they all relate to the integrity of the official results," it stated.
Voters line up along a street outside a polling station in Kiserian, Kenya on August 8, 2017.
