Criminal gangs and elections in Kenya

By Ken Opala

Summary

Election violence remains a major problem in Kenya despite attempts by the state and other

actors to tackle it. Ahead of the country’s fifth general election, held on 9 August 2022, state

agencies, the media and civil society predicted the re-emergence of gangs and militias keen

to influence its outcome. Although the elections went off relatively smoothly there is still a

clear nexus between politics and crime.
