The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has emphasized the significance of inter-agency collaboration to enhance electoral integrity and public trust ahead of the 10th August 2027 General Election. IEBC Commissioner Marykaren Sorobit, speaking at the launch of three key justice sector publications, highlighted the Commission's commitment to working with the Judiciary, National Council on the Administration of Justice (NCAJ), investigative and oversight agencies, political parties, the media, civil society, and the public.
Sorobit explained that while IEBC operates independently under Article 88 of the Constitution, its successful execution relies on close cooperation with various stakeholders. She stressed that for elections to be credible, they must not only involve the casting and counting of votes but also the protection of fundamental rights, fair resolution of disputes, investigation of offenses, and adherence to the rule of law.
IEBC remains dedicated to partnering with all relevant institutions to ensure free, fair, transparent, and credible elections in 2027.
