Kenya Election History 1963-2013
KENYA ELECTION HISTORY 1963-2013 1963 Kenya Election History 1963 1963: THE PRE-INDEPENDENCE ELECTIONS These were the last elections in pre-independent Kenya and the key players were two political parties, KANU and KADU. KADU drew its support from smaller, less urbanized communities hence advocated majimboism (regionalism) as a means of protecting them. KANU had been forced to accept KADU’s proposal to incorporate a majimbo system of government after being pressured by the British government. Though KANU agreed to majimbo, it vowed to undo it after gaining political power. The majimbo constitution that was introduced in 1962 provided for a two-chamber national legislature consisting of an upper (Senate) and lower (House of Representative). The Campaign KADU allied with the African People’s Party (APP) in the campaign. KANU and APP agreed not to field candidates in seats where the other stood a better chance. The Voting Elections were marked by high voter turnout and were held in three phases. They were widely boycotted in the North Eastern Province. Violence was reported in various parts of the country; four were killed in Isiolo, teargas used in Nyanza and Nakuru, clashes between supporters in Machakos, Mombasa, Nairobi and Kitale. In the House of Representative KANU won 66 seats out of 112 and gained working majority from 4 independents and 3 from NPUA, KADU took 47 seats and APP won 8. In the Senate KANU won 19 out 38 seats while KADU won 16 seats, APP won 2 and NPUA only 1. REFERENCE: NATIONAL ELECTIONS DATA BOOK By Institute for Education in Democracy (published in 1997). -

DOI: 10.21276/sjhss Saudi Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences ISSN 2415-6256 (Print) Scholars Middle East Publishers ISSN 2415-6248 (Online) Dubai, United Arab Emirates Website: http://scholarsmepub.com/ Influence of Political Parties’ Affiliations on County Assemblies’ exercise of Oversight authority over County government in Kenya: A case study of Makueni County Assembly Shadrack Musyoki Mutisya*, Jeconia Okello Abonyo, Wilberforce Senelwa 1Directorate of Open and Distance Learning, The School of Entrepreneurship, Procurement and Management, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, P.O. Box 62000, Nairobi-Kenya *Corresponding Author: Shadrack Musyoki Mutisya Email: [email protected] Abstract: The new Constitution of Kenya, 2010, created a devolved system of government that has forty seven (47) County Assemblies mandated to oversight County governments. Parliamentary oversight is crucial in espousing accountable and democratic form of governance. Nevertheless, many legislatures are inherently weak in exercising constitutional oversight. Their weakness emanate from the interplay of a variety of factors among them being political parties’ affiliations. This study was an empirical analysis of the relationship between political parties’ affiliations and County Assemblies’ exercise of oversight authority over the County governments in Kenya. The study employed a mixed research design of correlational and descriptive research designs. A sample of 71 respondents was used and 70.4% response rate was attained. It was established that opposition parties or coalitions are relatively weak at influencing County governments’ performance. Further, parties disciplinary of non-cooperating MCAs has moderate effect of reducing oversight over County governments and vice versa. The County executives are tempted to control Assemblies when MCAs increase their exercise of oversight mandates. -
