IEBC engagement report
@IEBCKenya - 1.0M followers on X
Measured over 50 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 25, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 24 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 50 original posts, its engagement rate beats 18% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 6.9K times each, and 0.347% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.662% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 50 posts sampled, 92% carry an image or video, 38% are part of a thread and 22% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.6K interactions, about 66x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #2027ge, #17thnovemberbyelection, #yourvoteyourvoice.

Compared with accounts its own size
IEBC's engagement rate beats 18% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 24% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.002%, IEBC sits below the 10th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

- Its average post runs 625 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Press Release Response to Allegations and Claims Aired on KTN Teaser on Ongoing Continuous Voter Registration The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) wishes to clarify the following matters concerning the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR). This forms part of the Commission’s commitment to keeping Kenyans informed of its activities, processes and procedures, as well as the applicable legal framework governing election processes in the Eectoral Cycle in preparation for the 2027 General Election. IEBC seeks to promote public awareness, facilitate informed participation in the electoral process and address misinformation, disinformation and misleading narratives that may undermine public confidence in the electoral process. The Commission notes with grave concern the continuous dissemination of misleading and unverified information by sections of the media, groups and individuals, through mainstream and social media platforms, concerning its constitutional mandate and ongoing preparations for the upcoming General Election. In particular, the Commission has witnessed sensationalized reports and unsubstantiated stories regarding the Commission's Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise which is being conducted across all the 290 constituencies throughout the entire Republic. Such reporting risks misleading the public and undermining confidence in the electoral process. The Commission reiterates that the stories on electoral malpractice or illegality relating to the registration of voters, illegal transfers of voters and alleged registration of foreigners as voters in Kenya and abroad remain unsubstantiated and untrue. To date no entity, organization, group or individual has submitted to the Commission any credible evidence supporting any such allegations of illegality and malpractice. Where credible evidence is presented, the Commission shall take appropriate action including disciplinary action, investigation into criminal conduct and where culpability is established, criminal prosecution and punishment shall be undertaken in accordance with the laws of Kenya. The IEBC wishes to clarify to the public that its constitutional mandate under Article 88 of the Constitution is limited to the registration of eligible Kenyan citizens who possess National Identity Cards (IDs) and valid passports and maintenance of the Register of Voters. In addition, IEBC does not issue National IDs or Kenyan passports. These functions fall within the mandate of the relevant State Agencies responsible for identification, citizenship and immigration. Any association or references to IEBC in relation to issuance of IDs or passports is factually incorrect, malicious, intended to misinform and risks misleading the public regarding the respective mandates of the relevant State institutions.

Press Release: Misrepresentation by Media on Elections Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 The Commission’s attention has been drawn to media reports to the effect that the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 seeks to scrap live streaming of poll results, ban live broadcast of poll results and return the voting system to manual voter identification and transmission of poll results akin to what was used in the 2007 General Election. The Commission wishes to state as follows: 1. The media reports are erroneous and a misrepresentation of the Bill as tabled before Parliament. 2. The Bill does not in any way propose amendment to Section 44 of the Elections Act that provides for the deployment of an Integrated Elections Management System for voter registration, voter identification and results transmission. Instead, it proposes a complementary mechanism for result transmission to address instances where transmission of results is not possible owing to lack of 3G network which is the minimum standard required for transmission of result Forms. 3. The Bill seeks to align the law with the Supreme Court’s decision in the Presidential Election Petition No. 1 of 2017, which affirmed that the election result in the one recorded in the statutory Results Declaration Form (34A Series), the primary and final record of the results at the polling station. Accordingly, the Commission is required to verify the results by comparing the original physical form 34A with the electronically transmitted image of the same form from the polling station. The IEBC remains committed to preserving the integrity, credibility and transparency of the electoral process and ensuring that every election faithfully reflects the sovereign will of the people.

Press Release Response to Allegations by Party Leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), Hon. Rigathi Gachagua The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) takes note of reports and headlines published and circulating in mainstream and social media regarding, among others, the ongoing procurement of electoral technology for the upcoming 2027 General Election. The reports follow an unsubstantiated and false statement issued by the Party Leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party, Hon. Rigathi Gachagua, during a press briefing held on Wednesday, 26 August 2026. The Commission welcomes constructive criticism and accountability measures based on the rule of law and laid down procedures as established by the Constitution of Kenya and applicable laws. However, the Commission shall also protect public interest where the allegations are motivated by malice and unjustifiable propaganda aimed at undermining the integrity and credibility of the electoral processes in Kenya. We shall do this by calling out those individuals and entities that have made it a habit to perpetuate harassment, threats and intimidation against the members and staff of the Commission.

PRESS RELEASE IEBC SUMMONS HON. HASSAN OMAR TO APPEAR BEFORE THE ELECTORAL CODE OF CONDUCT ENFORCEMENT COMMITTEE The @IEBCKenya through its Electoral Code of Conduct Enforcement Committee, has summoned Hon. Hassan Omar to appear before the Committee on 21st October 2026 at Anniversary Towers. The summons arises from statements allegedly made by the former Senator at a public rally in Mombasa County on 11th September 2026 on voting by deceased voters. The matter was brought to the Commission’s attention and is being considered under the Electoral Code of Conduct set out in the Second Schedule of the Elections Act, 2011. The Commission is mandated to promote and safeguard the integrity of Kenya’s electoral processes. This includes ensuring that all participants conduct themselves in accordance with the Constitution, the Elections Act and the Electoral Code of Conduct, which provides a framework for reporting, investigating and, where appropriate, enforcing against breaches. With the 2027 General Election approaching, the Commission urges political leaders, candidates, supporters and all other participants to exercise restraint and responsibility in their public utterances and conduct. It calls on them to help build an electoral environment founded on peace, tolerance, respect for the rule of law and democratic participation.

Press Release Clarification on voter registration incident at Kenyatta University The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is aware of a video clip circulating on social media regarding a voter registration exercise undertaken at Kenyatta University. The Commission wishes to put the record straight on the ongoing continuous voter registration and voter transfer processes as follows; 1. It is a Constitutional right for every eligible Kenyan citizen to apply for registration and vote at any polling station of choice. 2. Voter transfer services are currently offered at our constituency offices across the country and NOT in any other place. 3. The Commission is currently undertaking Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) at all 290 IEBC Constituency Offices, all Huduma Centres and the Customer Experience Centre at Anniversary Towers, Nairobi. 4. Where necessary and based on operational considerations, the Commission deploys voter registration kits to strategic locations to reach out and register eligible Kenyan citizens like what happened in Kenyatta University. 5. Acknowledgement slips are only issued to newly registered voters and NOT those seeking to transfer their voting station because their details are already in the register of voters. 6. The role of the IEBC is to facilitate the registration of eligible Kenyans as voters and DOES NOT direct, compel or influence voters to select a particular polling station. The Commission has taken the allegations in the clip with the seriousness it deserves and it is currently working with relevant Government Agencies to take appropriate action in accordance with the law including making arrests where there is culpability. The Commission urges members of the public to refrain from interfering with the Commission processes as it endeavors to discharge its mandate. The Commission further urges members of the public to rely only on official information from the Commission and cautions against use of misinformation to disrupt peaceful co-existence among Kenyans.

- What is IEBC's engagement rate on X?
- IEBC (@IEBCKenya) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 50 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,046,154 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, IEBC sits below the 10th percentile of the 205,374 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @IEBCKenya have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 18% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @IEBCKenya post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.8 posts per day across the measured window.
