Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has urged opposition leaders to stop blaming the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) for election outcomes and instead focus on convincing Kenyans to vote for them. Speaking at a church service in Uasin Gishu County, Kindiki stated that it is the voters who determine the leaders, not the electoral commission.
He asked opposition politicians to develop policies and manifestos that can persuade voters, rather than making the IEBC a central issue in their campaigns. Kindiki emphasized that the IEBC should perform its constitutional duties without intimidation or political pressure and remain neutral and within the law. He also referenced the 2022 election, when IEBC head Wafula Chebukati remained firm under political pressure.
The remarks come amid scrutiny of the IEBC and concerns about its readiness to conduct the 2027 election.
