IEBC registra 2,6 milhões de eleitores nos preparativos para as eleições de 2027

A Comissão Independente Eleitoral e de Limites (IEBC) registrou 2.612.725 eleitores após encerrar a campanha de alistamento na terça-feira. Este número é quase o dobro dos resultados de 2016 e 2021. O presidente Erastus Ethekon afirmou que isso demonstra um forte compromisso nacional com o processo democrático.

A campanha de alistamento eleitoral ocorreu em duas fases: o registro regular de 29 de setembro de 2025 a abril de 2026, e uma fase contínua de 30 de março a 28 de abril de 2026. Cerca de 267.249 eleitores foram adicionados no registro regular, e 2.345.476 na fase contínua.

O registro ocorreu em 30.615 locais, incluindo todos os 290 distritos eleitorais, 1.450 alas, Huduma Centres, instituições de ensino superior e o centro de atendimento ao cliente da IEBC em Nairóbi. A comissão mobilizou 12.520 funcionários treinados e 5.390 kits KIEMS, alcançando mais de 500.000 por semana.

O presidente da IEBC, Erastus Ethekon, declarou: “Este exercício demonstra uma forte vontade nacional de participar do processo democrático e sinaliza preparativos de alto nível para as Eleições Gerais de 2027.” Ele atribuiu o sucesso a um modelo de registro aprimorado e inclusivo. O condado de Nairóbi liderou com 276.886 novos eleitores, seguido por Kiambu e Nakuru.

Desafios persistiram em áreas áridas devido a problemas de infraestrutura e distâncias. A IEBC agora foca na limpeza e verificação do registro para garantir a precisão.
