Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has moved to court to stop the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) from making changes to security features on the ballot paper ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Omtatah, who leads the National Reconstruction Alliance Party, wants the court to review and quash the changes, arguing that IEBC has not demonstrated that the revised specifications will provide equivalent or better protection against electoral malpractice.

In his petition filed under certificate of urgency against IEBC and Attorney General Dorcas Oduor, the Busia legislator through his National Reconstruction Alliance Party, argues that any decision diminishing the safeguards to secure the integrity of ballot papers directly implicates the constitutional integrity of Kenyaโ€™s electoral system.
