Is Kithure Kindiki preparing for key political job? https://t.co/SHnfifW0dF 10 years ago, I wrote this piece with a bit of foresight. Today, it’s surreal to see it unfold exactly as predicted. See how it all came to pass #Deputypresident #Kithurekindiki

Press Release
Status of Election Preparedness

The Commission has published in the Kenya Gazette Notice No. 13497 carried in Vol. CXXVIII – No. 144 published on 20th August 2026. The said notice marks the commencement of the election period and coming into force of two legal instruments in respect to the 10th August 2027 General Election:

i. The Electoral Code of Conduct, and
ii. The Election Offences Act.

A successful election is a collective national endeavor. As we prepare for the 2027 General Election, we will continue working closely with government agencies, political parties, media, civil society, faith-based organizations, development partners among other key stakeholders.

As we approach the General Election, the Commission urges all political actors, candidates and their supporters to exercise restraint and ensure that political competition remains firmly within the bounds of the law. Differences in political opinion are a legitimate and necessary feature of democracy.

Let us choose peace over violence, unity over division and issues over personalities. Let us resist the temptation to spread misinformation, incite hatred or demonize those with whom we disagree. Kenya has demonstrated its capacity to conduct competitive elections while preserving its democratic institutions, and the 2027 General Election must provide yet another opportunity to demonstrate the maturity and resilience of our democracy.

The Commission urges the people of Kenya to register and verify their voter details, reject misinformation and exercise their democratic rights peacefully and responsibly.

The Commission will continue to provide timely information and engage stakeholders to ensure the 2027 General Election is conducted peacefully, transparently, accountably and in accordance with the law.

The Daily Nation story on the goons today was exceptionally informative. The photo coverage yesterday was also the best I have seen in years. Media must continue to firmly play their role in a democratic society. @NationAfrica keep it up.

Geography of Roads.

Today we feature the Nairobi-Nakuru highway.

The A104 highway straddles the Eastern escarpment of the Rift valley, linking the capital with Nakuru city on the valley floor.

The scenery is stunning all along the route but danger lurks too.

DEVELOPING...So today the Chief Conservator of Forests Alex Lemarkoko will be having a news conference to address the emerging issues in the Environment sector pertaining Karura Forest; the phased removal of exotic trees from the forest to reintroduce the indigenous trees and the proposed annexing of 52 acres of Karura forest to allow for the expansion of Kiambu Road. These issues have been met with fiery opposition from environmentalists.
