The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) president Faith Odhiambo has raised alarm over the looming risk of breaching constitutional electoral timelines due to the absence of a functioning Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

“Our political context is at the brink of implosion, and we must unite efforts towards getting the Commission set up and ready to go. The future, peace, and democratic state of our country depends on it,” she said.

Good initiative madam Faith. Keep the pressure pilings until they heed to this clarion call. We need the IEBC.

The urgent reconstitution of IEBC is crucial for Kenya's democratic integrity. Any attempts against the will of the people must be firmly opposed to safeguard our electoral process and constitutional timelines.

Does Ruto know lack of IEBC commissioners is breach of constitution he swore to protect & can be used as reason for impeachment? Constitution should be honoured to the letter not selectively. Thanks LSK chairperson for highlights.

Timely reconstitution of the @IEBCKenya is crucial for safeguarding Kenya's democracy and ensuring free, fair, and credible elections in 2027. The judiciary must act decisively to resolve pending disputes and protect constitutional timelines.

Adding to the chorus of voices, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has alleged that the delay in reconstituting the IEBC is part of a broader scheme to manipulate the upcoming 2027 general elections.

“The absence of IEBC is a pointer of a scheme of the things that are being planned. We want to appeal to the international community to put pressure on president William Ruto and the Kenyan government, so that IEBC is reconstituted as of yesterday,” he asserted.

As it stands, the IEBC operates without a chairperson and commissioners, despite the ongoing functions of its Secretariat.
