The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is proposing new regulations for campaign financing ahead of the 2027 General Election. The draft regulations aim to enhance transparency and accountability in electoral competition.

• The Draft Election Campaign Financing Regulations, 2026 mandate political parties and candidates to open and manage campaign financing accounts, and to keep detailed records of contributions and donations.
• IEBC Chairperson nominee Erastus Ethekon emphasized the regulations' goal is to ensure electoral outcomes are determined by voters' free will, not disproportionate financial influence.
• The commission is currently in the final phase of public participation to ensure the proposed framework is practical and reflects the views of affected stakeholders.
