The process of constituting a substantive Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is underway and the pressure to deliver a credible entity to referee the next General Election is mounting.
A full in-tray awaits the IEBC, which could tentatively be in place by May. Among the tasks its new commissioners will be expected to undertake is a slew of by-elections for constituencies and wards without representation for nearly a year.
At the same time, IEBC is supposed to prepare for a credible 2027 General Election. Concerns have been raised over the delay to reconstitute IEBC, which has contributed to stalling crucial activities like boundary delimitation.
