During the inauguration day, a presidential motorcade will be on standby at the residences of the president-elect and his deputy and they will be heavily guarded by a contingent of General Service Unit (GSU) officers who will guide them to the swearing-in ceremony.

The presidential procession, which will have a similar number of vehicles as the outgoing president’s normal fleet, will then proceed to the inauguration venue likely be set at a national arena such as the Kasarani Stadium, as was the case with President Kenyatta.

While the President-elections are expected to be sworn in on the first Tuesday following the fourteenth day after the date of the declaration of the presidential election results, if no petition has been filed, he will be afforded all the presidential rights his predecessor enjoys even before taking the oath of office.

While making his way to the inauguration grounds, the incoming president will be briefed on aspects of the state such as government structures, intelligence, state of the economy, and exact details of the swearing-in process.

Prior to the ceremony, the organising committee will send the presidential standard to the State Uniform Committee for designing. The standard will be designed to the liking of the president-elect.

The names of all guests and dignitaries who will attend the event will also be forwarded to the steering committee by the president-elect and the outgoing Head-of-State.

Swearing in Ceremony

The swearing-in ceremony will run between 10 am to 2 pm with the event’s grounds being opened to the public as early as 6 am.

Once all attending Kenyans and guests settle, the President elect’s motorcade and that of his deputy will make their way into the grounds flanked by a military parade which will be ready by the time they arrive.

The outgoing president will then avail himself for the handing-over ceremony which will be preceded by a short session of prayer and entertainment from a lineup of artists.

The Chief Justice will administer the oath of office to the president-elect alongside the Registrar of the High Court.

Once the president-elect is sworn in his deputy will likewise take the oath of office after which President Kenyatta will hand over the symbols of power such as the Constitution and the sword of power to the new president.

The newly sworn deputy president will then take to the podium to make an address after which he or she will invite the outgoing president. Their speeches will be prepared by the organising committee.

After this, the outgoing Head-of-State will welcome the next president of Kenya to the stage to make his address. The national anthem will be played as the presidential standard is changed to conform to the new administration.

The outgoing president will then leave for State House to officially hand over the house on the hill to his successor. In the meantime, the newly-sworn in president will then be driven around the stadium in an open land rover to greet Kenyans in attendance after which he will be driven to State House for a final sit down with the outgoing president.

After exchanging a few words, the outgoing president will vacate the premises to signify that a new administration has officially ascended to power.

Last week, Kenyans elected their new president. Additionally, new governors, senators, women representatives, members of parliament and members of county assembly were elected.

Unlike the five seats which were announced by the returning officers at various county or constituency tallying centers, the new president will be announced by the chairman of the independent electoral and boundaries commission, IEBC.

Once the national tallying is done, the commission will find the winner of the presidential polls.

However, IEBC will not announce the winner immediately. The name of the new president will be taken to the President, and he will get informed of the winner.

Upon receiving the name, the president will notify the Chief of General Staff, National Intelligence Director and the Inspector General, to make arrangements on how the new president will be protected. Further the three will be instructed to observe moves of the loser.

The new president will then be called by the outgoing President and notified of his win.

The security of the new president will then be beefed up with elite VIP protection commandoes

Thereafter, IEBC will announce the winner to the nation.

You can verify your voter registration details through a text message or by logging into the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission portal.

IEBC chairperson Wafula Chebukati on has instructed voters to send an SMS with their ID/passport number to 70000 to confirm their voter registration details. Alternatively, voters can visit the iebc website portal by clicking here to verify their details ahead of the August polls.

The service, which commenced on May 4 will end after 30 days.

According to Chebukati, a person who duly applied to be registered and his/her name or the biometric data has not been captured correctly in the register of voters may make a claim to the Registration Officer within 30 days.

Those whose details are incorrectly captured are advised to visit the centre where they were registered.

The Commission had earlier announced that it had suspended the application for new registration.

According to Chebukati, the move was to give time for Kenyans to verify their biometric data and particulars of registered voters.

In the first phase of the voters’ registration exercise that commenced in October last year, the IEBC listed 1.51 million new voters, translating to about 25.3 per cent of its target of six million voters.

During the exercise, a total of 396,163 registered voters applied to transfer to registration centres of their choice, while 2,269 changed their particulars.

The commission also registered 2,959 new voters from Kenyans in diaspora, 2,964 requests for transfer, and 2,036 applications for change of particulars.

The commission had attributed low numbers to voter apathy and national ID-related issues.
