IEBC dismissed Gachagua's claims of political interference, graft and voter suppression in 2027 polls.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has dismissed allegations of political interference, corruption and voter suppression surrounding preparations for the 2027 General Election, terming the claims false, unsubstantiated and aimed at undermining public confidence in the electoral body.
In a statement issued on Thursday, IEBC Chairperson Erastus Edung Ethekon said the allegations followed statements made by Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua during a press briefing on Wednesday.
The commission specifically rejected claims that politicians had purchased a house for its chairperson to influence him, saying the allegation had changed from an alleged Sh80 million property to one worth Sh200 million.
