An Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) official inside a polling station in Kiambu County before polls open during Kenya's general election on August 9, 2022.
If enacted and updated, this will be the first time that the IEBC will facilitate the evaluation of elections since the current Constitution came into effect on August 27, 2010, and has so far overseen three general elections.
Parliament will be required to hire an independent firm to conduct an assessment of the electoral process within a year of a general election if a Bill before Parliament becomes law as originally published.
The Elections (Amendment) Bill 2024, a product of the National Dialogue Committee (Nadco) co-chaired by the government and the opposition, seeks to update Article 88 (4) (g) of the Constitution.
