President William Ruto will sign the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2024 on Tuesday. 

The first bill passed by Parliament based on the recommendations of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report will be signed into law at the KICC. 

The Head of State invited leaders of parliamentary parties from both inside and outside Parliament to join him for what State House describes as a historic occasion.

The IEBC currently lacks commissioners, which has limited its ability to carry out key mandates such as by-elections and the long-awaited boundaries review process.

President Ruto has faced mounting pressure to sign the Bill into law, particularly after Kenyans rejected the Finance Bill and vowed to recall legislators who voted for it. 

The Bill aims to establish the country's electoral management system.
