Moses Kuria works as President William Ruto's Senior Economic Advisor. He says Kenya will not have general elections during 2027. Political leaders have attacked his statement. Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka rejected the claim on Monday. Kuria stands firm on his position about the upcoming polls.
Kuria points to the Krigler Report as evidence for his prediction. He mentions problems with appointing new electoral commission members. Court battles have stopped officials from taking their positions. The legal fight over the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission continues. These issues may prevent proper election preparation.
Justice Lawrence Mugambi made an important court decision recently. Parliament can review and approve the nominated commissioners. The swearing-in process must wait until courts settle the legal challenge. This delay affects the commission's ability to function properly. Kuria believes this timeline makes 2027 elections impossible.
The Krigler Report studied Kenya's troubled 2007 elections. It found serious problems with the electoral system at that time. The report says elections need a working commission two years before voting begins. Kuria uses this finding to support his argument. He claims the current delays prove his point about 2027.
Kuria responded directly to Kalonzo Musyoka's criticism of his statements. He admits he lacks legal training but calls himself honest. Kuria suggests the current government would stay past 2027 without elections. The disbanded electoral commission remains incomplete after 2022. Legal disputes continue blocking progress toward new leadership appointments.
