IEBC yasajili wapigakura milioni 2.6 katika maandalizi ya uchaguzi 2027

Tume Huru ya Uchaguzi na Mipaka (IEBC) imesajili wapigakura 2,612,725 baada ya kufungwa kwa shughuli ya uandikishaji Jumanne. Idadi hii ni mara mbili ya matokeo ya miaka ya 2016 na 2021. Mwenyekiti Erastus Ethekon amesema hii inaonyesha nia kubwa ya kitaifa kushiriki katika uchaguzi.

Shughuli ya usajili wa wapigakura ilifunguliwa kupitia mikumbo miwili: usajili wa kawaida kuanzia Septemba 29, 2025 hadi Aprili 2026, na awamu ya usajili wa wengi kutoka Machi 30 hadi Aprili 28, 2026. Wapigakura 267,249 walisajiliwa chini ya usajili wa kawaida, huku 2,345,476 wakiongezwa katika awamu ya pili.

Usajili ulifanyika katika maeneo 30,615, ikiwa ni pamoja na maeneo bunge 290, wadi 1,450, Vituo vya Huduma, taasisi za elimu ya juu na Kituo cha Huduma kwa Wateja cha IEBC Nairobi. Tume ilitumia maafisa 12,520 na vifaa 5,390 vya KIEMS, na kufikia takwimu za kila juma zaidi ya 500,000.

Mwenyekiti Erastus Ethekon alisema, “Shughuli hii inaonyesha nia kubwa ya kitaifa kushiriki katika mchakato wa kidemokrasia na kuashiria kiwango cha juu cha maandalizi ya Uchaguzi Mkuu wa 2027.” Aliongeza kuwa mtindo mpya wa usajili umeimarishwa na unaojumuisha wote. Kaunti za Nairobi, Kiambu na Nakuru ziliongoza na idadi kubwa ya wapya.

Licha ya mafanikio, changamoto ziliendelea katika maeneo kame na yenye umbali mkubwa. Sasa IEBC itazingatia kusafisha na kuthibitisha sajili ili kuhakikisha usahihi.

The Niko Kadi voter registration drive in Kitale was briefly halted on Saturday after armed goons infiltrated the event.
