NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 26 – Opposition leaders led by Peopleโ€™s Party of Kenya (PPK) leader Ndindi Nyoro and Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiangโ€™i have condemned the proposed Elections Amendment Bill, warning that plans to remove livestreaming of election results could undermine transparency ahead of the 2027 General Election.
