The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) announced that eight of the 24 pending by-elections, scheduled for November 27, are at risk due to lack of funding. The commission requires an additional Ksh.258 million to fund these by-elections, with the total cost for all 24 estimated at over Ksh.1 billion.

• IEBC Chairperson Erastus Ethekon stated the commission has a budget for only 16 by-elections, appealing to the Treasury for the deficit.
• The total budget required for all 24 by-elections is Ksh.1.046 billion, with Ksh.788 million already secured.
• The IEBC aims to register 6.3 million new voters by 2027, with 70% being young people, but faces challenges with the boundaries delimitation exercise.
