IEBC inaweka tarehe 16 Julai kwa uchaguzi mdogo wa Ol Kalou

Tume Huru ya Uchaguzi na Mipaka (IEBC) imetangaza kuwa uchaguzi mdogo wa kiti cha Ol Kalou Constituency katika Kaunti ya Nyandarua utafanyika Ijumaa, Julai 16, 2026. Kiti hicho kilipungua baada ya kifo cha Mbunge David Njuguna Kiaraho Machi 29, 2026. Spika wa Bunge la Kitaifa Moses Wetangula alitangaza rasmi kiti kuwa tupu Aprili 20.

IEBC ilitoa notisi rasmi Jumapili, Aprili 26, 2026, ikithibitisha tarehe ya uchaguzi mdogo wa Mbunge wa Ol Kalou.

“Uchaguzi mdogo wa Mbunge wa Bunge la Kitaifa wa Olkalou Constituency katika Kaunti ya Nyandarua utafanyika Ijumaa, 16 Julai, 2026,” IEBC ilisema katika notisi yake.

Kiaraho alifariki dunia wakati akipata matibabu katika Hospitali ya Nairobi Machi 29, 2026. Alikuwa Mbunge wa Ol Kalou tangu 2013 na alikuwa katika muhula wake wa tatu.

Matangazo ya Wetangula yalifuata vifungu vya 101(4)(a) na 103(1)(a) vya Katiba na Kifungu cha 16(3) cha Sheria ya Uchaguzi.

Uchaguzi huu unatarajiwa kuwa pambano kati ya Chama cha UDA cha Rais William Ruto na DCP cha Rigathi Gachagua. Aprili 22, wagombea 10 wa UDA walijitangaza mbele ya Naibu Rais Kithure Kindiki, wakiishauriwa kufuata makubaliano. Gachagua alisema DCP ina wagombea angalau 9.

IEBC pia inajiandaa kwa uchaguzi mwingine wa Emurua Dikirr Mei 14, 2026, pamoja na wadi za Porro na Endo.
