Lawyer John Muremi Njomo is asking the Milimani High Court to block the removal of live-streaming of results announced at polling stations. The petition challenges a provision in an election bill before Kenya’s 10 August 2027 presidential election, according to court documents.
Kenya’s National Assembly has removed the legal requirement for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to livestream polling-station results. The electoral bill also provides for the recall of convicted MPs, according to Tuko, as the 2027 presidential election approaches.
