The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has issued a stern warning to political parties, including UDA, ODM, Wiper Party, DCP and others against the use of violence during their party primaries.
In a statement released today, the IEBC boss emphasized that all elections must be free, fair, and peaceful.
The commission has urged political parties to ensure a democratic and orderly process in selecting their candidates.
This warning comes in the wake of chaos that erupted yesterday during the ODM party primaries in Kaspul, which were marred by infighting among supporters.
Such incidents, the IEBC has cautioned, can lead to the loss of lives and the destruction of property.
The commission has underscored the responsibility of party leaders to lead by example and preach peace among their followers, promoting a culture of tolerance and mutual respect.
The IEBC has also revealed that these party nominations are crucial as they precede the upcoming by-elections scheduled for November.
These by-elections will fill vacant seats in various parts of the country.
The commission has reiterated its commitment to overseeing a peaceful and credible electoral process and has called on all stakeholders to cooperate in achieving this goal.
Parties have been reminded that their conduct during the primaries will be a key indicator of their commitment to a peaceful electoral period.
