The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) announced a delay in resuming voter registration in areas that recently held by-elections. This decision follows Section 76 of the Elections Act, which mandates a 28-day waiting period to allow for potential election petition filings.

• The voter registration will resume after the 28-day window closes and if no petitions are filed.
• The IEBC cited the need to maintain the integrity of the electoral register for any potential legal challenges.
• The delay comes after the United Opposition, led by Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, announced plans to challenge the results of the November 27 by-elections, alleging voter suppression in areas like Mbeere North and Malava.
