IEBC Warns Politicians Over Electoral Violence, Flags Voter ID Gaps - May 2026

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is warning politicians against electoral violence and misconduct, with a threat of disqualification from the upcoming general election to maintain peace and integrity. Following the 2022 presidential victory of William Ruto, there is a renewed push among opposition parties to form a grand coalition in anticipation of the 2027 general elections. The Kakamega High Court has dismissed a petition challenging the results of the Malava by-election, upholding the outcome of the electoral contest, while David Kipsang Keter was declared MP-elect for Emurua Dikirr Constituency after receiving 18,266 votes.
