On November 1, 2021, the National Olympics Committee of Kenya (NOCK) held an Extraordinary General Assembly to discuss the upcoming elections. The meeting was attended by the NOCK boss, Paul Tergat, and representatives from various federations.
According to Tergat, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) was initially set to conduct the polls but was unavailable due to national engagements. Tergat stated, 'We regret to inform you that the Electoral Board body, IEBC has national engagements, thus will not be up to task to undertake the process and all the various steps needed for credible elections.'
As a result, the NOCK Executive Committee decided to reach out to the Centre for Corporate Governance to conduct the elections. The polls are scheduled to take place on November 16, 2021.
Paul Tergat emphasized the importance of transparency and inclusivity in the electoral process, stating, 'I hope in so doing, you note that we are continuing to build on our best practices of transparency and inclusivity in all that we do as an Executive in this dispensation of our term.'
