A poll by Ipsos released yesterday said that from the findings, it is noteworthy that 72 percent of Kenyans hold the view that replacing the IEBC commissioners would increase the level of confidence in the IEBC. However, only 30 per cent of the proportion of Kenyans who are aware of Cords streets protests against the IEBC, support the demonstrations. Only 41 percent of Kenyans trust that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission can deliver a credible election next year. This is evidenced by the fact that 12 percent are often opinion that the alleged corrupt IEBC official should be prosecuted whilst a minority (5 percent) suggest that the composition of the IEBC commissioners ought to include a representative from the main political parties," Ipsos director Hilda Kiritu explained. With the exception of Central and Rift Valley regions at 58 percent and 56 precent respectively, the other six regions have less than 40 percent confidence in the current IEBC to manage the next general elections.
