The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has condemned recent remarks by political actors alleging they will influence the outcome of the 2027 presidential election through unlawful means, warning that such statements threaten public confidence in Kenya’s democratic process.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the electoral body described the claims as “reckless, baseless and unacceptable,” saying they were designed to instill fear among Kenyans and undermine trust in the country’s electoral system ahead of the next General Election.
The Commission said the remarks had generated significant concern within the political environment and risked distorting public perception of the integrity of elections in Kenya.
