NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 26 – Former Chief Justice David Maraga has called on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to provide hourly voter turnout updates during elections, arguing that the current practice of announcing participation figures at 6PM should be abandoned.
Maraga said the electoral agency should transmit voter turnout figures on an hourly basis to improve transparency and allow Kenyans to follow the voting process as it unfolds.
“The trend of IEBC announcing voter turnout figures at 6PM must come to an end. That system is rigged,” Maraga said.
