Who will shape Kenya’s electoral future?

Kenya is on a mission to reform its Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). The country is searching for a new chairperson and six commissioners to guide its electoral processes. This effort is being led by the IEBC Selection Panel, chaired by Dr. Nelson Makanda.

The interviews started on March 24, 2025, at the College of Insurance in Nairobi. Dr. Makanda stressed, “Our duty is to identify individuals with integrity and competence to steer Kenya’s electoral system forward.” The panel has shortlisted 116 candidates—11 for the chairperson role and 105 for commissioner positions. Notable names include Charles Nyachae, a former constitutional expert, and Anne Amadi, a former Chief Registrar of the Judiciary.

The interview process, lasting 33 days, is structured for maximum transparency. The new commissioners will face critical tasks, such as preparing for the 2027 General Elections and addressing voter registration issues. Cleaning up the voter register remains a hot topic, attracting significant public attention.

Civil society groups have highlighted the importance of this selection. John Kariuki, a democracy advocate, noted, “The IEBC is central to Kenya’s democracy. We need leaders who value fairness and public trust.”

The stakes are high, and the Kenyan public is closely following the process. The nation hopes for a credible and impartial team to rebuild faith in the electoral system. This reconstitution of the IEBC is more than filling vacancies—it is about securing Kenya’s democratic future.

Dr. Makanda summarized the sentiment, stating, “This is about safeguarding the integrity of our democracy.” With interviews ongoing, Kenyans remain optimistic about the outcome of this crucial process.

This transformation marks a critical moment for Kenya’s democracy, aiming to ensure free, fair, and transparent elections in the years ahead. The public’s watchful eye reflects their desire for an IEBC that truly serves the nation.
