The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has warned that delays in the constituency and ward boundary review process could jeopardize its readiness for the August 2027 General Election.

• The IEBC cited legal, operational, and financial challenges, including a pending court ruling on the 2019 Census, as reasons preventing a complete delimitation before 2027.
• IEBC Chairperson Erastus Edung Ethekon acknowledged that the exercise has exceeded its constitutional review window, creating a serious legal hurdle.
• The IEBC plans a phased approach for boundary reviews and is seeking guidance from the Attorney General and the Supreme Court.
• Ethekon confirmed the possibility of court challenges to the 2027 election outcome due to these delays.
• The commission also faces a funding shortfall of approximately Ksh.20 billion for election preparations.
