Four young Kenyans have filed a petition with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to recall Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris, marking a significant test of Kenya’s recall provisions. They allege multiple constitutional violations, including failure to represent and financial opacity.

• The petitioners, Shakira Wafula, Marvin Mabonga, Dominic Omandi, and Cich Soet, claim Passaris breached Articles 10, 35, 37, 73, 75, 95, and 232 of the Kenyan Constitution.
• To proceed, they must collect 750,000 valid signatures, representing 30% of Nairobi’s 2.5 million registered voters, and achieve a 15% threshold in at least half of Nairobi’s wards.
• If successful, a recall election would be held where at least 50% of all registered voters must participate, with a majority voting "yes" to remove Passaris from office.
