By  Editorial

What you need to know:

  • The IEBC, whose performance has come under serious scrutiny, seems keen to redeem itself.
  • This time round, the IEBC plans deploy multiple servers to enhance transparency in the tallying and transmission of election results.

All eyes are on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) as the countdown to the August 2022 General Election continues. Indications of new political alliances are emerging with the ruling Jubilee Party setting the pace with a noisy split between President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy, Dr William Ruto.

The IEBC, whose performance has come under serious scrutiny since the bungling that led to the repeat of the presidential poll in October 2017 following the Supreme Court nullified President Kenyatta’s victory, seems keen to redeem itself. Then, the highest court in the land found that the IEBC “committed irregularities and illegalities” in the transmission of the results. Now, the electoral agency has unveiled a plan to remedy the challenges that led to the repeat poll.
