Erastus Ethekon is the new IEBC Chairman. He worked in Turkana County as the Legal Advisor to the former governor Nanok. The ex-governor now works for President Ruto as his advisor in State House.
Many Kenyans are worried that the new Chairman, who is related to Nanok might influence the 2027 election result.
“Huyu msee alifanya kazi na Nanok na wako related. How sure are we that he won’t rig the result in favour of Ruto?”,A Kenyan wondered.
But from my point of view,rigging might be impossible in 2027 if opposition gets more than 60% of the votes cast. Rigging happens when the gap between number 1 and number 2 is small.We also believe that winning or losing the election result is determined at the polling stations where vote counting is determined.
What opposition should do is to have agents in every polling station. They should also have their own tallying centre to compare the result with the results from the IEBC. If that will be the case,it will be hard for anyone to rig the result.
