POLLS SHOWS KENYANS HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN IEBC

THE majority of Kenyans have no confidence in the electoral commission’s ability to manage the 2017 General Election, according to the latest poll by Ipsos.
The poll, conducted between November 7 and 19, 2015, shows that 41 per cent of Kenyans do not believe the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission will do a good job.
They were answering a survey question that has drawn contrary opinions from both Cord and Jubilee support areas.
The entire research was, however, sampled on the basis of Cord versus Jubilee supporters and political parties.
Although confidence in the IEBC has higher ratings from Jubilee strongholds, at 63 per cent, 70 per cent of Cord supporters have no confidence in the commission at all.
Announcing the results yesterday at the Ipsos offices, research analyst Tom Wolf also noted that 58 per cent of the respondents want the IEBC commissioners replaced by individuals who are trustworthy.
This could be related to the events of 2013, after Cord leader Raila Odinga accused the IEBC of bungling the presidential elections in the petition that he filed in the Supreme Court.
The replacement of the IEBC commissioners received huge backing from Cord areas at 71 per cent, with 44 per cent jubilee supporters backing the idea.
Fifteen per cent of Jubilee supporters want the commissioners of the now-defunct Independent Electoral Commission, the IEBC’s predecessor, convicted on corruption offences alongside those of its successor commission. Only 6 per cent of Cord backers support the idea.
Five per cent of the respondents want IEBC commissioners appointed by the political parties along the lines of the Inter-Party Parliamentary Group agreement of 1997.
On the use of technology, 74 per cent of Jubilee supporters, compared to Cord's 65 per cent, prefer the use of digital devices for voter registration, identification and vote transmission in the next elections.
Not dissimilar technology was used during the 2013 General Election but failed at the last minute, prompting the IEC to go manual in a move that was interpreted by Cord as rigging.
A proposal for the presence of more international observers received the backing of 6 per cent from Jubilee and 3 per cent from Cord.
Eight per cent Jubilee supporters and 4 per cent Cord support the verification of a single voters' register before the next polls.
