A group of six Kenyan citizens has filed a petition in the High Court challenging the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for its refusal to process recall petitions against Members of Parliament. They seek to compel the IEBC to act on these petitions, arguing that the lack of enabling legislation does not nullify the constitutional right to recall.

• The petitioners aim to recall various legislators, including Tharaka Nithi Senator Mwenda Gataya, National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah, Meru North MP Rahim Dawood, and Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris.
• The case centers on Article 104 of the Constitution, which provides for the recall of MPs.
• High Court Judge Chacha Mwita has ordered the IEBC and other respondents to appear before him on September 17, 2025.
