Kenyan activists have called for free and fair voting amid concerns over security during elections. Linda Mwananchi, a prominent figure in the United Alternative Government, urged the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to ensure every citizen can vote without fear.
Reports suggest some incidents occurred in areas where security forces were present or operating. Activists are pushing for independent investigations into these claims. They argue that such events could undermine public trust in the electoral process.
The calls for transparency come as the country prepares for upcoming elections. Mwananchi emphasized the need for accountability and protection of voters' rights. Local media have reported increased tensions in certain regions ahead of the polls.
Authorities have not yet commented on the allegations. The situation remains under close watch as the electoral body works to address concerns.
