  The impact of a redrawn constituency map will be dwarfed by other electoral forces The redrawing of constituency boundaries is always a contentious issue. MPs who thought they had a safe seat can find their political careers put in peril by a seemingly arbitrary line drawn across a map.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has been dysfunctional since the August 2022 General Election. Article 89 of the constitution requires the commission to review names and boundaries of constituencies at intervals of not less than eight years and not more than 12.
