Kenya is facing a critical delay in enacting crucial electoral laws ahead of the 2027 General Election, despite promises to fast-track reforms. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) warns that late legislation jeopardizes operational planning and procurement.

• Several key Bills, including amendments to the Elections Act, Election Offences Act, and Political Parties Act, remain stalled in the National Assembly.
• The IEBC, referencing the Kriegler Commission's recommendations, emphasizes that legal reforms should ideally be completed at least two years before an election.
• National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula had pledged to complete the Bills within two to three months in October 2025, but progress has been minimal.
