We advise candidates, political parties, and civil society organisations on compliance with Kenya's comprehensive electoral framework, including the Elections Act 2011, the IEBC Act, the Political Parties Act, and the relevant constitutional provisions governing electoral processes.
We provide strategic counsel on campaign finance regulation, nomination procedures, and media and digital regulation of elections, helping clients navigate requirements that are both technically demanding and politically consequential.
We represent clients in high-profile election petitions and judicial review proceedings arising from electoral processes, including Court of Appeal matters arising from the 2017 elections. Our team understands both the procedural requirements and the substantive grounds on which election outcomes can be challenged or defended.
We assist coalitions of NGOs and civil society actors in drafting legal reform proposals and submissions to Parliament on proposed amendments to election laws, combining legal analysis with strategic engagement in legislative processes.
Our Electoral Law practice covers the full cycle of election-related legal work, from pre-election compliance advisory and candidate or party counsel through to post-election petition litigation and constitutional challenge proceedings. We have represented an appellant in the Court of Appeal in the 2017 elections challenging the High Court direction on candidate inclusion in the repeat fresh elections, advised a major political party on campaign finance rules and election regulation compliance under the Elections Act and Political Parties Act, and assisted a coalition of NGOs in drafting legal reform submissions to Parliament on proposed electoral law amendments. Our services include election strategy legal advice, IEBC engagement, party compliance advisory, campaign finance guidance, petition litigation, and legislative reform advocacy.
Electoral matters carry consequences that extend far beyond the courtroom, they determine who governs and how. Clients trust us in this space because we combine constitutional depth with the political acuity to understand what is actually at stake. We have litigated in the Court of Appeal on election matters, advised major political parties, and contributed to legislative reform processes on electoral law, and we do this work with both precision and judgment. In a domain where legal missteps carry immediate political consequences, experience and discretion are the qualities that matter most.
