This report is the product of a sustained and collaborative effort, grounded in a shared commitment to strengthening democratic governance and electoral accountability in Kenya. We wish to extend our deepest appreciation to the Democratic, Governance and Rule of Law ICJ Kenya team, namely: Wayua Matheka, Thuku Mburu, and Moses Murithi that conceptualised this study and shaped its analytical direction.
Their clarity of vision, particularly the decision to approach Kenya’s electoral history as a continuum rather than a series of isolated events,provided the intellectual foundation upon which this report is built. We are equally grateful to the researchers, namely: Sherine Kirui, Mercy Cheruiyot, Caren Okumu, Gyanne Chebet, Tabrandy Machoka, Nara Yego and Olivia Njeri, their work underpins this publication.
