Reconstitute IEBC

Overview

The #ReconstituteIEBC campaign highlights the critical need for reforming Kenya's electoral body in light of its current non-functionality and widespread concerns about its credibility and independence. The campaign also underscores the urgent need for Kenyan citizens to hold their representatives accountable. Many leaders have failed to fulfill their manifestos or contribute meaningfully to the country's development. Posts on X and other platforms reflect a growing public demand for an IEBC that operates free of political interference and ensures fair representation, thereby restoring trust in Kenya’s democratic processes.
