The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is set to launch the Pre-Election Disputes Resolution Report for the 2022 General Election alongside the Case Digest for the 2022 General Election on Thursday, July 9, 2026.

Taking it to their X handles on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, the IEBC has noted that the event scheduled on Thursday, July 9, 2026, and which will be held under the theme “Path to the Polls: Electoral Integrity Through Justice and Dispute Resolution”, is expected to bring together electoral stakeholders, members of the judiciary, political parties, civil society organisations, election observers, legal practitioners and development partners to reflect on lessons from the 2022 general election.

“To the launch of the pre-election disputes resolution report for the 2022 general election & case digest for the 2022 general election. Date: Thursday, July 9, 2026 Theme: Path to the Polls: Electoral Integrity Through Justice and Dispute Resolution,” IEBC stated.

The two publications document the handling of disputes that arose before the 2022 General Election, including conflicts related to voter registration, party nominations, candidate clearance and other electoral processes that fell within the Commission’s mandate. The reports also compile key decisions made by the Commission’s Dispute Resolution Committee, providing a reference point for future electoral dispute resolution.

According to the commission, the launch is part of ongoing efforts to institutionalise lessons learned from previous elections and improve the management of electoral disputes ahead of the 2027 general election.

By documenting past experiences and legal precedents, the Commission hopes to guide electoral officials, political parties, candidates, legal practitioners and other stakeholders on the effective resolution of election-related disputes.

The event underscores the Commission’s commitment to ensuring that electoral disagreements are resolved through lawful and transparent mechanisms, reinforcing the role of justice in safeguarding free, fair and credible elections.
