Kenya: The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission seeks to reclaim its lost glory by conducting credible by-elections lined up this year after successful petitions against the manner in which the 2013 elections were conducted. The by-election in Bonchari was one such opportunity the IEBC could use to redeem itself.
The level of disaffection with the IEBC by both the electorate and political parties is worrying. In fact, Cord, the first runner-up in the election has demanded its disbandment.
