Members of Parliament have defended and opposed proposed changes to IEBC Results livestreaming, which would remove the legal requirement for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to livestream results announced at polling stations ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The National Assembly passed the Elections (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, 2024, on Thursday, October 22, 2026.
During the debate, Deputy Speaker Gladys Boss Shollei defended the use of recounts to resolve election disputes, while Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah cautioned against changing substantive electoral procedures.
