NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 23 – Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairperson Erastus Ethekon has called for greater transparency, accountability and public participation to strengthen confidence in Kenya’s democratic institutions ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Speaking during a panel discussion on trust and democracy at the inaugural Global Trust Summit 2026, Ethekon said confidence in electoral management depends not only on how elections are conducted, but also on transparent procedures, access to reliable information and meaningful engagement with citizens.
He said the Commission would continue working with political actors, the media, civil society organisations and the public to promote informed participation, constructive engagement and respect for electoral processes.
