In a statement, Kalonzo emphasized the importance of IEBC remaining independent, transparent, and accountable to Kenyans as the country approaches the August 10, 2027 election. He warned that any attempt to interfere with the commission’s independence would undermine the country’s democratic institutions, stating, \"Any hand that reaches to compromise that independence reaches, in truth, for the throat of the Republic.\"",
