Opposition leaders have demanded urgent reforms at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), warning against any attempt to reintroduce the Smartmatic election management system under a different name ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Wiper Patriotic Front and Azimio la Umoja leader Kalonzo Musyoka, DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa and Democratic Party leader Justin Muturi said the credibility of the next election would depend largely on an electoral system that commands the confidence of all political players.

The leaders spoke on Monday at Kefri grounds in Kitui during National Prayers organised by the Kenya Clergy Alliance in conjunction with the Kitui county clergy leadership.
