IEBC Clarifies Ballot Paper and Ballot Box Lid Colours Ahead of 2027 General Election

Jipange Mapema: Register as a Voter and Know Your Ballot

By Ahmed Salat Ali political Affairs Editor 

As Kenya prepares for the 2027 General Election, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has provided clarity on the colours assigned to ballot papers and the corresponding ballot box lids for the six elective positions.

The IEBC has emphasised that the colour of each ballot paper matches the colour of the lid of the respective ballot box, a measure intended to help voters correctly identify and cast their ballots during the election.

The six elective positions and their corresponding colours are: President — White
Member of the National Assembly — Green
Member of the County Assembly — Beige
Senator — Yellow Woman Member of the National Assembly — Purple and Governor — Blue

The Commission is urging Kenyans to familiarise themselves with the ballot-paper colours ahead of polling day to minimise confusion and ensure that every vote is cast in the correct ballot box.

The IEBC is also encouraging eligible Kenyans who have not yet registered as voters to take advantage of the available registration points.

Voter registration can be undertaken at IEBC Constituency Offices, selected Huduma Centres across the country, and the IEBC Customer Experience Centre at Anniversary Towers in Nairobi.

With the 2027 General Election approaching, the Commission's message to voters is clear: prepare early, register as a voter and make your voice count.

“Jipange Mapema. Register as a Voter!”
Voters are further encouraged to rely on official IEBC communication and avoid misinformation regarding the electoral process.

Basir Security Centre Row Sparks Debate as Eldas MP Defends Project

By Ahmed Salat Ali | Political Affairs | AARAN TV KE  Aden Keynan has broken his silence on the controversial Basir Multi-Agency Centre, strongly defending the project as a critical national security intervention and warning leaders against politicizing matters touching on public safety and regional stability. In a strongly worded statement, the Eldas legislator said he had deliberately refrained from commenting on the matter for a long period out of respect for the sensitivity of Kenya’s security architecture. However, he noted that growing misinformation and inflammatory narratives surrounding the proposed facility had compelled him to clarify the facts. “Security remains a sacred constitutional mandate of the National Government, entrusted with safeguarding lives, protecting borders and preserving the stability of our Republic,” Keynan stated. The MP described the Ethiopia–Moyale–Basir–Arbajan–Isiolo corridor as one of the major transit routes for transnational organized crime, ...
