Disobeying Orders: The Scrutiny of Kenya’s Electoral Technology

In these reports, AfriCOG and KPTJ analyse developments throughout the electoral cycle,
with a focus on pre-election preparedness, the administration of Election Day, results
announcement processes, post-election dispute resolution, and the broader governance
issues arising.

AfriCOG is an independent, non-profit organisation that provides research and monitoring
on governance and public ethics issues to address the structural causes of Kenya’s unfolding
governance crisis.

KPTJ is a coalition of governance, democracy, and human rights organisations that
was formed following the 2008 post-election violence to work for electoral justice and
accountability for the widespread atrocities and political violence that the country had
experienced. AfriCOG convenes the secretariat of the KPTJ. During the 2022 general
election, both have worked with the steering committee of the Angaza Movement electoral
platform, which succeeded the Kura Yangu Sauti Yangu coalition, to actively monitor the
electoral process, engage key stakeholders, and facilitate dialogue amongst a broad range
of stakeholders to promote credible elections.

We offer these assessments of our electoral processes to educate Kenyans on the conduct
of their elections and to inform the public debate on the strengthening of our electoral
governance framework. AfriCOG and KPTJ’s goal is to transform the management of
Kenya’s elections to truly represent the choices and interests of the Kenyan voter.
