The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has proposed new election campaign financing regulations ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Under the Draft Election Campaign Financing Regulations, 2026, the commission is seeking to require political parties and candidates to open and maintain campaign financing accounts, keep records of contributions and donations, disclose and audit campaign finances and comply with reporting requirements.
"The Draft Election Campaign Financing Regulations, 2026, seek to provide clarity on key aspects of campaign financing, including the appointment and registration of authorized persons, opening and management of campaign financing accounts, recording and reporting of contributions and donations, regulation of campaign expenditure, disclosure and auditing of campaign finances, as well as mechanisms for compliance, enforcement and dispute resolution," read a statement by the IEBC.
