If PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION were held ONLINE in Kenya TODAY, who would you CHOOSE? YOUR VOTE and YOUR VERDICT. Cast your VOTE and let the NUMBERS SPEAK.

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

Ruto is trying to make changes at Nation Media Group ahead of the 2027 campaigns, thinking the old trick of having friendly people sitting in powerful newsroom positions can still control what millions of Kenyans see, hear and discuss every day.

Someone needs to remind these people that social media is now king, and by 2027, X, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube and independent online publishers will matter far more in shaping daily political conversations than whoever sits in an editor’s office at Nation Centre.

PRESS STATEMENT

WHY KENYA'S ELECTORAL SYSTEM MUST PASS THE CONSTITUTIONAL TEST

Fellow Kenyans,

Yesterday, I appeared before the High Court in a constitutional case concerning the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (@IEBCKenya) and the integrity of Kenya's electoral system.

The petition asks the Court to test the entire chain of our elections - how Kenyans register, how they are identified at the polling station, how their votes are cast and counted, and how results are transmitted, verified and declared - against the standards the Constitution itself sets.

That question is simple to state: Does Kenya's electoral system meet the constitutional test?

Article 81 requires that elections be administered in a manner that is impartial, neutral, efficient, accurate and accountable. Article 86 requires that, whatever method is used to cast, count and transmit votes, that method be simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent. The Elections Act sets the same standard for the technology IEBC deploys.

The Constitution anticipates an electoral process that is not just free and fair, but one that is also tamper-proof. Free and fair speaks to conduct on the day; tamper-proof speaks to the design of the system itself - whether it can withstand interference at any point in the chain, and whether that can be proven, not merely assumed.

To be clear, this case is not just simply about paper versus electronics.

Kenya's system already combines both - paper ballots, electronic voter identification, and electronic transmission of results. Technology, properly designed and independently verifiable, can be a powerful ally of electoral integrity: it can reduce unnecessary human discretion, create reliable audit trails, make results easier, not harder, to verify, and significantly reduce the cost of elections.

But technology is not self-certifying. It does not become trustworthy simply because it is technology. Like every other part of the electoral chain, it must be shown to satisfy the Constitution's own tests of transparency, verifiability, security and accountability - and, ultimately, to be tamper-proof.

That is the real question before the Court: does the entire electoral chain - registration, identification, casting, counting, tallying, transmission, verification and declaration - give Kenyans sufficient safeguards that their vote, once cast, cannot be manipulated, mishandled, or rendered impossible to verify?

This is not a personal quarrel with @IEBCKenya. It is a constitutional and public-interest matter.
Sovereignty in this country belongs to the people, and the vote is the sole instrument by which that sovereignty is exercised. An electoral system that cannot be meaningfully verified is not one the Constitution permits us to accept on faith.

I want to be precise about where this matter stands. The High Court has not ruled on the merits. The parties were heard, and the constitutional questions remain before the Court. I respect that process fully and will abide by whatever directions and determination the Court makes.

My role as a citizen, a public representative, and the petitioner in this matter is to ensure these questions are placed squarely before the Court and answered according to the Constitution and the law, not according to convenience or assumption.

Kenyans should not have to be told their votes were counted correctly. They should be able to verify it. That is the standard the Constitution sets, and it is the standard we are asking the Court to enforce.

The vote belongs to the people. The Constitution protects it. Our electoral system must do the same - free, fair, and tamper-proof.

We proceed, firmly and within the law.

God bless Kenya.

Breaking News

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has suffered a SIGNIFICANT legal setback following the High Court’s this morning decision to grant the DP Petitioner Advocate Gilbert Njoroge prayers allowing political parties and accredited election observers lawful access to examine election records and data, including the Register of Voters, relevant databases, servers, audit logs and other election information. The petition, which was opposed by both the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the IEBC, places renewed emphasis on transparency, accountability and verifiability in Kenya’s electoral process, and underscores the constitutional principle that election data and records must be capable of independent scrutiny where the law permits.

[Makhanu W. Oliver @MakhanuWOliver]

BREAKING: High Court rules parties & observers can access the Register of Voters, servers, audit logs & all election data.

The petition was opposed by UDA & IEBC, but they have LOST.

Win for transparency ahead of 2027! Nothing will save Ruto

[Pauline Njoroge @paulinenjoroge]

A government in panic! They are in a hole, and they keep digging. Every day they invent news ways of annoying Kenyans. Now these students will vote for Sifuna to a man. Even those who may not have planned to vote now have a reason to.

[BRAVIN YURI @BravinYuri]

Please, also tell us what the law says about using school buses to ferry people to political rallies.

Is it presidential?

[John Mutongoi @johnmtongoi]

Edwin Sifuna: People have lost jobs just because of taking a photo with me.

[Alinur Mohamed @AlinurMohamed_]

Whoever ordered Edwin Sifuna to be blocked and chased out of JKUAT has just converted the over 600,000 JKUA students, lecturers, parents and support staff into Edwin Sifuna's voters and supporters.

[Edwin Sifuna @edwinsifuna]

We came to JKUAT Karen on the invitation of the student leadership for their Inaugural Law, Policy and Governance forum but the Administration has abruptly “cancelled “ the event and denied us access to the institution. Totally uncalled for.

[Edwin Sifuna @edwinsifuna]

Bwana there is just fear everywhere…but a bold new generation must rise up and reclaim their country. This is why we continue to preach the values in the preamble of our Constitution, most importantly, freedom. I thank the Governor, Students Association Karen Campus, Graham Mboya, for the invitation. I’ll be returning the courtesy by inviting you and your fellow students to the Senate tukitoka mashinani so that the conversation can continue. God bless!
