Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) president Faith Odhiambo has urged Parliament to strengthen electoral transparency by expressly requiring the livestreaming of results announced at polling stations ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Odhiambo said Kenyans deserved to witness how their votes were translated into election results rather than being asked to trust electoral institutions without sufficient public scrutiny.
Her remarks follow the passage of the Elections (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, 2024, by the National Assembly on October 22, 2026, with calls mounting for Parliament to publish the approved text and clarify its implications for transparency.
