Gachagua alleges Joho, IEBC plot to rig 2027 elections
Gachagua claimed the alleged scheme involves Joho and the IEBC vice chairperson, although he stopped short of giving details of the system.
NAIROBI, Kenya – Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua claims a plot to rig the 2027 General Election is being orchestrated by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and Cabinet Secretary Ali Hassan Joho. Gachagua did not provide specifics on the alleged system, stating he would only disclose details once verified.
He emphasized his intention to inform Kenyans rather than use the information for political leverage. The IEBC has faced scrutiny over electoral technology, particularly voter identification and results transmission. On August 20th, the commission temporarily halted procurement of critical materials for the 2027 election, suspending the acquisition of election technology and ballot papers pending a review request to the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board.
