It is a set of rules and regulations that politicians must adhere to promote conditions conducive for free and fair elections.
The code also requires aspirants to promote a climate of tolerance to ensure political activities like elections take place without fear, coercion, intimidation or reprisals.
IEBC is by law allowed to issue a formal warning if aspirants or any office holder are found to be in bridge of the code.
The commission can also fine the guilty aspirant or his party, or bar them from participating in ongoing or future elections if they default in paying the fine.
All political parties and aspirants must sign the document before thay are allowed to participate in any election exercise.
“All candidates and political parties are reminded that they are bound by the electoral code of conduct that they executed,” Chebukati said.
He said the enforcement committee will continue to monitor the conduct of campaigns across the country and “will not hesitate to take action against anyone found culpable”.
