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).

Estimating the Effect of Devolution on Infrastructure Spending in Kenya Word Count: 10,081 Abstract Does the decentralisation of state institutions result in a more equitable distribution of public goods in the African context? To answer this question this study examines a natural experiment in Kenya where the new 2010 Constitution devolved political and fiscal powers to 47 newly-established county governments. A difference-in-differences strategy is employed that exploits heterogeneity in the ethnic alignment of each county to the president. This effectively varies the intensity of the ‘treatment’ of devolution across counties. Using data on road expenditure across all 47 counties from 2010 to 2017, this study finds that the devolution of state structures in Kenya resulted in a significantly more equitable distribution of road spending. These results represent an important contrast to the prevailing view in the literature that asserts that decentralisation reforms in sub-Saharan Africa have largely failed to live up to expectations.

Partisan Coalitions… and Elections in Kenya STUDIES & ARTICLES
African Perspectives STUDIES & ARTICLES Partisan Coalitions… and Elections in Kenya Ahmad Amal Demonstrator – Institute of African Re- search and Studies Cairo University The Kenyan partisan system is one of the least stable systems in Africa. Since Kenya’s independence in 1963, the Kenyan parties suffer from continuous defections and divisions regardless to the nature of the existing partisan system, be it a one-party or a multi- party system. This continuous change in the structure of the parti- san system had forced the Kenyan parties to adopt another strat- egy so as to compensate their losses from the successive divisions. Such a strategy is represented in forming, before each election, expanded partisan coalitions so as to ensure further expansion, thus raising their opportunities of winning further votes. Due to the fact that the Kenyan elections that took place on March 4, 2013 is the third in a row that witness the phenomenon of partisan coali- tions, it is inevitable to study those coalitions through tackling the main features of their development, then monitoring the effect of such features on the results of the elections that showed the victory of the Jubilee Alliance (JA) by the majority of seats in the two chambers of the Parliament –National Council and the Senate, not to mention the victory of the Coalition candidate Uhuru Kenyatta in the presidential elections. First: Evolution of the Partisan Coalitions in Kenya The phenomenon of partisan coalitions in Kenya has gone through four phases. The first phase started by the beginning of the 20th century and con- tinued by the continuance of the one-party system.

How does the digital divide in access to communication technologies reproduce or counter pre-existing inequalities? This dissertation is based on 26 months of participant observation in Kenya since 2001, when I investigated the competition and economic precariousness found among art traders, exporters, and art-producing organizations and cooperatives. In this dissertation I focus on the recent effects of cell phones and the internet. To clarify the contemporary importance of mobile communication technologies for Kenyans working in the shadow of the coastal tourism industry, I discuss the history of social inequality in Mombasa, the consolidation of curio art traders and cooperatives in the port city, and Kenya’s political economy of ICT access. Following the removal of the roadside kiosks housing my initial sample of 2001, I investigated the strategies of small- scale art vendors as they struggled to survive economic change.
