The electoral commission has proposed two staggered elections, a year apart starting with county then presidential polls.

“We propose that Kenyans elect their governors, senators and members of the county assembly (MCAs) in what is to be called county elections. Then after a year, they elect President, MPs and Women Representatives,” Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati said.
