Delimit constituency and ward boundaries

Constitution of Kenya, Article 89(2)

No delimitation has been carried out since the 2012 review. The petition record and the IIBRC's own report are the standing evidence of what the exercise involves.

Status: Not started
Why we say that: No Bill in Parliament's tracker implements this, and no dated stage has been recorded against it.
Responsible: Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission
Due: 8 March 2024 · 2 years overdue Article 89(2) requires a review of names and boundaries at intervals of not less than eight and not more than twelve years, and the last review was gazetted in March 2012.
Last recorded movement: No recorded movement.

Bills Parliament has for this

No Bill in Parliament's tracker implements this. That is the finding, not a gap in our data — a commitment with no Bill is exactly what a bill tracker cannot show you.
