Key timelines ahead of the General Election/Sydney Nyachiro
Kenya's electoral process leading to the August 10, 2027 General Election follows a structured roadmap that begins in late 2026.
Political parties must submit authorised personnel details to the electoral commission by October 15, 2026, and finalise certified nomination rules by early November. Public officers seeking elective office are required to resign by February 10, 2027, followed by the submission of party membership lists in March and the conclusion of primaries by May 8. Candidate registration unfolds in stages through May and June, covering independent candidates, presidential aspirants, lawmakers, and local representatives. Official campaign activities launch on May 29, running alongside dispute resolution processes handled by the electoral body through late June. All campaigning officially ceases on August 7, exactly three days before citizens cast their votes.
