The 27th November by-elections have all the signs of a mini general election. Given that our two neighbouring Tanzania and Uganda governments, have provided clear evidence how not to prepare for elections, can Kenyan authorities demonstrate any difference?

Elections are to take place on the same day for 24 seats including senator, National Assembly members and County Assembly Members. They include Baringo County, Banissa, Kasipul, Magarini, Malava, Mbeere and Ugunja constituencies and 17 wards across 14 of Kenya’s 47 counties.
