由于法律问题和时间限制,肯尼亚的IEBC延迟了2027年选举的全面边界审查。 Kenya’s IEBC delays full boundary review for 2027 election due to legal issues and time limits.

肯尼亚的IEBC于2026年1月27日宣布,由于时间限制和持续的法律挑战,在2027年大选之前不会完成全面的选举边界审查. Kenya’s IEBC announced on January 27, 2026, that a full electoral boundary review will not be completed before the 2027 general election due to time constraints and ongoing legal challenges. 自2022年以来,由于专员职位空缺以及Garissa、Wajir和Mandera县的2019年人口普查数据发生法院争议,这一进程被推迟,无法在数据仍然不可受理的情况下全面开展。 The process, delayed since 2022 over commissioner vacancies and a court dispute over 2019 census data from Garissa, Wajir, and Mandera counties, cannot proceed fully while the data remains inadmissible. 委员会正在对审查的某些部分采用分阶段办法,这些部分不依赖于有争议的数据,但可能暂停,以便把重点放在选举筹备工作上。 The commission is using a phased approach for parts of the review not reliant on disputed data but may pause it to focus on election preparations. 2010年《宪法》规定,边界变更必须在选举前至少12个月完成,这意味着任何不完整的审查都不会影响2027年的投票,尽管法律行动仍然是可能的。 Under the 2010 Constitution, boundary changes must be finalized at least 12 months before an election, meaning any incomplete review will not affect the 2027 polls, though legal action remains possible.
