First by-elections since 2024 will be held 27 November 2025 by the newly reconstituted IEBC.
1 senate and 6 MP seats will be up for grabs (I will not try to cover MCAs) Result Prediction (based on what I know so far) Senate Baringo Chemitei UDA 100% National Assembly Mbeere North Karish DP 75%, UDA 25% Banissa Hassan alias Barre UDA 100% Magarini Kombe ODM 75%, DCP 25% Malava Panyako/Ndakwa DAP-K 60%, UDA 40%, Ugunja Omondi ODM 100% Kasipul Were/Aroko ODM 75%, Ind 25% Will also be interested ton see whether any Kenya Moja candidates manage to make any impression (10% or more). I'm doubtful so far, but it’s a good test of whether the explicitly Gen Z non-ethnic concept will work operationally in Kenya’s political system. DCP is basically out of the race everywhere except Magarini, but DP is their proxy/ally in Mbeere N.

When it came to it, the impeachment vote against Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on 8 October was decisive in the house, with 44 voting against, 281 in favour, 1 abstention and only 18 absent (many tactically). Apart from his allies in Nairobi and Central Province, Gachagua's main defenders were the Wiper MPs, who had recently done a deal to back him, as a first step to a new political arangement as ODM moved closer to UDA. Elsewhere, there were few ready to speak for him.
The first regional study for a while. Needed some further research and there may still be some gaps.
Fully refreshed review of Ukambani - last version was from 2021. This is now current, with maps, errors fixed and the 2022 election result included
The history of Busia District (and County) as told through its elected representatives since 1957.
Back with Number 16 in the series, one of the tougher ones: South Nyanza (today Homa Bay and Migori). A few learnings for me as I put this together.
The latest instalment - No.15 - in the series covers the political history of Taita-Taveta District and County since 1957.
No.14 in the series; a deep dive into the history of Kakamega and (after 1989) Vihiga districts, from the perspective of their political representation. Including a basic analysis of the 2022 election results in the region.
Back with No.,13 in this series on the political history of the rural Mijikenda of Kilifi and Kwale. Long and complex and still a few loose ends.
A history of Mombasa through the perspective of its political representatives. Part of a series (No.12). Had to do quite a bit of research to sort out the early period 57-62 better in my mind. There may still be errors, so please comment if you see them.
