IEBC has released an audit report dated 20th June 2022. The final voter register is out and has been presented to KPMG, and the number of registered voters for this year’s election is more significant than the number witnessed in 2017.
We hope that this year’s general elections will run smoothly and will not affect the country’s economy. Unlike the previous elections that have seen our economy nearly crumble to its knees due to election disputes, we urge all Kenyans to exercise caution and preach during the electioneering period.

About IEBC
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) was founded in 2011 as an independent agency under the Kenyan constitution.
The Commission’s primary responsibilities are
- To conduct or supervise referenda and elections in Kenya.
- Conduct any other electoral duties according to an Act of Parliament.
In a nutshell, this year’s election will be pretty competitive because there is no sitting president. It’s a battle between leaders who have never tested the presidency. As always, we encourage you to reach peace wherever you are.
