This article lists political parties in Kenya. Kenya has a system comparable with a two-party system, since there are two dominant political parties c.q. coalitions, with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party. However, it is technically a multi-party system, since one of the ruling coalitions consists of several parties.
Kenya had over 160 registered political parties as of November 2007,[1] but following the implementation of the Political Parties Act on 31 December 2008, the number of fully registered parties fell to 38 with several others receiving partial recognition until they could comply with the act.[2][3][4]
