The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission's (IEBC) decision to sanction two politicians over alleged electoral offences during the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election has opened a fresh legal and political debate, raising questions about whether the electoral agency can effectively enforce campaign laws as Kenya heads towards the 2027 General Election.
