The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has begun gathering public views on proposed campaign financing regulations and election spending limits, saying the measures are intended to strengthen transparency and fairness ahead of Kenya’s 2027 General Election. “The proposed regulations and campaign contribution and spending limits are designed to promote fairness, transparency and accountability while ensuring a level playing field in electoral competition,” Mukhwana said. “The proposed contribution and spending limits are intended to ensure election outcomes are determined by the will of the people rather than the influence of financial resources,” Hassan said. The commission says it wants to develop rules that reflect Kenya’s electoral realities while remaining practical, inclusive and consistent with the Constitution. State and non-state actors have been urged to support the process as part of broader efforts to strengthen public confidence in Kenya’s electoral system.
