Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi pledged on Monday that Kenya will collaborate with the United Nations to guarantee transparent elections in 2027. Mudavadi met with Akinyemi Adegbola, the East Africa Division's Principal Electoral Advisor for the United Nations Needs Assessment Mission, at his Railways office. The Cabinet Secretary requested the delegation examine technology influences, social media impacts, and artificial intelligence effects on electoral processes.

The United Nations team arrived following a request from Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Chairman Erastus Ethekon, submitted one month earlier. Mudavadi assured officials the government would respect IEBC independence, but provide necessary support for successful polls. He emphasized that preparations should involve security personnel, faith-based organizations, civil society groups, and judiciary officials before the election date arrives.

Adegbola confirmed the assessment mission would address Kenya's evolving electoral needs. He noted the country progressively narrowed support requirements to specific areas over time. The official stated that United Nations involvement in election logistics decreased as Kenyan capacity improved.
