More than 18,000 election observers and hundreds of international journalists are in the country to monitor the elections, signalling the huge attention Tuesday’s poll has attracted globally.
The number is more than the 16,098 candidates — with four gunning for the presidency — cleared to vie for the 290 parliamentary slots, 47 Senate, 47 governor and 1,450 Member of County Assembly (MCA) positions.
With three days to the election, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) yesterday said it had accredited 10,000 observers and was working round the clock to give the nod to another 8,000 applicants.
IEBC chairperson Wafula Chebukati said 1,300 international observers will help to assess the pre-electoral environment, polling, counting and tabulation as well as announcement of results.
Part of electoral process
“We have the duty and responsibility to ensure observation missions are part of our electoral process. We welcome all accredited participants on observer missions to play their part as Kenyans exercise their democratic right. Your being here adds credibility to the process that we are undertaking,” Mr Chebukati said.
In the 2017 polls, there were more than 5,000 election observers and international journalists monitoring the elections.
The Commonwealth has sent a team of 20 observers to be dispatched across the country.
