Kindiki Warns Politicians to Keep Off From IEBC Work

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has warned Kenyan politicians to cease interfering with the work of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), stating that such actions could jeopardize the country's democratic process ahead of the 2027 General Election. Kindiki also urged the IEBC to remain impartial and resist intimidation from politicians. Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchomena Murkomen separately urged the Opposition to cease interfering with the IEBC and instead focus on presenting policies for the 2027 General Election. Additionally, Kindiki issued a stern warning to politicians against using youth or goons to engage in political violence ahead of the 2027 General Election. These warnings come amid heightened political tensions as the country prepares for the August 2027 elections.
