Raila Odinga Calls For Immediate Disbandment Of IEBC

After losing August 9, 2022, General Election, Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party leader Raila Odinga has come up with several electoral management proposals he wants Kenya to adopt ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader spoke at the 14th edition of the Leadership Annual Conference and Awards in Abuja, Nigeria , on Tuesday, January 31.

Raila observed that if the electoral body is devolved into regions or counties, it would increase credibility and transparency unlike the current situation in Kenya where it is centralised.

Against this backdrop, Raila  called for the adoption of a county-based, regional arrangement akin to the United States style.

He also proposed that political parties need to be allowed to second their members to be part of the electoral agency.
