Politicians window to participate in Harambees is set to end tomorrow.
The notice was given by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), stating that the move will stop financial influence by politicians.
Aspiring politicians will not participate in fundraising either by themselves or proxies within eight months of the general elections.
The prohibition includes participation either by attendance or contributions.
This is to curb aspirants from influencing voters by donating funds for support. Violating this would squander their legitimacy at the ballot.
"Section 26 of the Elections Act provides that a person who participates in any fundraising or Harambee within eight months preceding a general election shall be disqualified from contesting in the election."
