Photo credit: Wilfred Nyangaresi | Nation Media Group “The second respondent (National Assembly Speaker) does not play a direct role in respect delimitation but it has role in ensuring accountability in regard to an Independent Commission such as first respondent (IEBC),” the court said, keeping Parliament in the dispute over electoral boundaries.

Article The High Court has rejected the National Assembly Speaker’s attempt to leave a case seeking to split Bobasi Constituency ahead of the 2027 General Election to address "unequitable" representation in Parliament.

The petition asks the court to determine whether there had been both a failure by the IEBC to undertake its constitutional boundary-review function and a corresponding failure by Parliament to exercise its oversight role.
