List Of Political Parties In Kenya
This article lists political parties in Kenya. Kenya's system is one with characteristics comparable with a two-party system, since two dominant political parties c.q. coalitions have dominated since the last general elections in 2007. However, it has been a multi-party system since 1992 and one of the ruling coalitions consists of several parties. Kenya had over 160 registered political parties as of November 2007, but following the implementation of several Political Parties Acts starting with the 31 December 2008 act, the number has been coming down considerably since. With the lapseing of the registration period set out in the most recent political parties act on 30 April 2012, 24 political parties had gained registration certificates while 22 others had applied for registration.

“[The political mind] is a strange mixture of vanity and timidity, of an obsequious attitude at one time and a delusion of grandeur at another time. The political mind is the product of men in public life who have been twice spoiled. They have been spoiled with praise and they have been spoiled with abuse.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
