TODAY IS THE DAY! 🇰🇪
We officially launch the Inuka Angaza Kura Platform, bringing together citizens, young leaders, civil society actors and other stakeholders to reimagine leadership and reclaim citizen power.
As Kenya looks towards the 2027 General Elections, it is time to rethink who gets to lead, strengthen meaningful electoral participation and advance citizen-led accountability.
This is more than a platform launch. It is a call for citizens to take an active role in shaping the Kenya we want.
Reimagining Leadership. Reclaiming Citizen Agency.

2/10. LIVESTREAMING OF ELECTION RESULTS
THE ELECTIONS (AMENDMENT) (NO. 2) BILL, 2024
sought to remove the statutory obligation for the IEBC to livestream election results announced at polling stations.
Key issues for public scrutiny
1. Removal of mandatory livestreaming: The Bill proposed removing the express legal requirement for the IEBC to livestream polling-station results.
2. Public access to results: The proposed change would have removed the statutory guarantee of an IEBC-provided livestream of polling-station results announcements.
3. Electoral transparency: The change raised concerns about the public's ability to observe results announcements and independently compare them with official declaration forms.
Removing a legal safeguard for electoral transparency undermines public confidence when Kenya should be strengthening accountability, openness and trust ahead of the 2027 General Election. Kenyans deserve elections whose results are transparent, verifiable and beyond suspicion.
3/10. POLITICAL PARTY NOMINATIONS AND CANDIDATE REGISTRATION
THE ELECTIONS (AMENDMENT) (NO. 2) BILL, 2024
About the Bill: After its introduction in the Senate in July 2024, the Bill underwent debate and committee consideration before senators passed it in December 2024. The National Assembly subsequently received it in February 2025 and considered it during the October 2026 proceedings. Mzalendo
The Bill sought to distinguish political party nominations from the formal registration of candidates by the IEBC.
Key issues for public scrutiny
1. Definition of nomination:The Bill proposed defining nomination as the process through which a political party elected or selected its candidates for elections.
2. Candidate registration: It proposed defining candidate registration as the process through which a person applied to the IEBC to contest an election.
3. Institutional responsibilities: The proposed changes sought to distinguish the responsibilities of political parties and the Registrar of Political Parties from the IEBC's role in registering candidates.
4. Submission of party lists: The Bill proposed removing certain requirements for political parties to submit party lists to the IEBC for Parliament and county assemblies.
Electoral reforms must improve electoral administration while safeguarding transparency in political party nominations and ensuring the fair representation of special-interest groups. Efficiency must never come at the expense of accountability, inclusivity and democratic participation.

🧵Thread: NO LAW IS ABOVE THE CONSTITUTION: Protect Electoral Transparency Ahead of Kenya’s 2027 General Election.
1/10. THE ELECTIONS (AMENDMENT) (NO. 2) BILL, 2024 Thread
About the Bill: Sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot and Senate Minority Leader Sen. Stewart Madzayo, the Bill was published on 7 May 2024 and introduced in the Senate in July 2024.
Senators passed it in December 2024 before it was forwarded to the National Assembly for consideration.
The National Assembly approved it on 22 October 2026. However, it has not yet completed the legislative process or become law. The Bill is expected to return to the Senate to consider the National Assembly’s amendments.
Current status: Further parliamentary consideration is required; it is not yet an enacted law.
The Bill sought to amend provisions governing voter registration, inspection and revision of the register of voters.
Key issues for public scrutiny
1. Public access to the register: The Bill proposed keeping the register of voters open for public inspection at all times.
2. Restrictions on revising the register:It proposed restricting revisions during the 60 days preceding a general election and during specified by-election and referendum periods.
3. Eligibility to contest a by-election: It proposed restricting the eligibility of people who registered during a suspension of voter registration to contest elections in the affected electoral area.
Question for Parliament
Would these proposed changes have protected the integrity of the voters' register without unnecessarily restricting eligible citizens' participation in elections?

What practical actions can you take to strengthen collective care and wellness in your community, and how will these actions contribute to real change?” #LivedExperienceKE
@EAWellness@Maskani254@nisisikenya Every shared experience can open a door for someone who has been suffering in silence. We must remember that sharing should always be a choice; no one should feel pressured to reveal painful or personal experiences. #LivedExperienceKE
@EAWellness@Maskani254@nisisikenya When people speak openly and are received with respect, others begin to feel safer doing the same. We break stigma by listening without judgement, protecting privacy, and treating every person's story with dignity. #LivedExperienceKE
@EAWellness@Maskani254@nisisikenya Sharing lived experiences helps people realise that mental health challenges can affect anyone. Honest conversations challenge stereotypes, replace misconceptions with understanding, and encourage others to seek support without fear of judgement. #LivedExperienceKE
@EAWellness Your experience matters, your voice matters, and your feelings deserve respect. You do not need to prove your pain to deserve compassion. Let us create spaces where every voice is heard. #LivedExperienceKE
@EAWellness Never assume that someone is okay simply because they are smiling. A simple check-in, a patient conversation, or a little kindness may mean more than you will ever know. #LivedExperienceKE
@EAWellness You do not have to carry everything alone. Reaching out for support is a sign of courage, and you deserve to be listened to, respected, and supported through difficult moments. #LivedExperienceKE
