IEBC Commissioner Ann Nderitu: University Degree Not Mandatory for Presidential, Gubernatorial or Parliamentary Candidates in 2027

IEBC Commissioner Ann Nderitu has clarified that Kenyans seeking to contest for the positions of President, Governor or Member of Parliament in the 2027 General Election are not currently required to hold a university degree.

Nderitu said the existing electoral requirements do not make a university degree a mandatory qualification for candidates seeking the three elective positions. She urged Kenyans intending to participate in the 2027 elections to familiarise themselves with the requirements set by the law and the electoral commission.

Her clarification comes amid growing public debate over academic qualifications for political candidates, particularly ahead of the 2027 General Election.
