Kenya is headed for major political reforms this year, with the electoral commission set for an overhaul, politicians in the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party calling for an inquiry into the last presidential election and the opposition demanding an audit of the polls.
Three electoral commissioners, including the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati, are expected to retire on January 17, thrusting the elections management body into a leadership limbo.
