Conflicting Assessments of IEBC's Conduct in November 27 By-Elections - November 2025

Following by-elections on November 27, 2025, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) received varied assessments. The Election Observers Group (ELOG) commended the IEBC for conducting free and fair elections despite some reported challenges. Conversely, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) declared the IEBC unfit to conduct the 2027 General Election, citing the chaotic by-elections and warning of political chaos. In Malava, after the IEBC declared David Ndakwa of the UDA party as the winner, DAP-K candidate Seth Panyako rejected the results, alleging widespread manipulation.
