At least five new political parties are planning to register before the next elections in Kenya

The last general elections in Kenya were held on August 9, 2022. General elections in Kenya are usually held every five years, meaning the next regular elections are expected to be held in 2027, barring snap elections or other exceptional circumstances. In short, there's still some time, but campaigning is more of an electoral hustle here in Kenya. At least five new political parties are planning to register before the next elections. The parties include: - United Patriotic Movement (UPM). Its slogan is "Stability and Prosperity." - Democratic Reforms (PDR), whose slogan is "Tumaini Na Ushindi." - Democratic Association (ADA). The party's slogan is "Alliance Power." - Inclusive Party (TIP). Its slogan is "The Dawn of Inclusivity." - Conservation of Democracy in Kenya (COD-K). The slogan is "Kioo cha Jamii." And then there's Rigathi Gachagua, who announced that he would be founding a new political party seven months after leaving office. Recall that Gachagua was removed from office and, on May 15, 2025, he founded a new political party called the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP). The party's slogan is "Skiza Wakenya" ("Listen to Kenyans"), emphasizing that its platform is focused on listening to ordinary citizens and addressing their concerns.
