The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has gazetted new regulations governing campaign financing ahead of Kenya’s 2027 General Election, setting out strict requirements on how candidates and political parties will raise, spend and account for campaign funds.
The Election Campaign Financing Regulations, 2026, gazetted on August 7, 2026, provide a framework intended to promote transparency and accountability in political fundraising and campaign expenditure.
Under the new regulations, the campaign expenditure period will begin at least six months before the date of the General Election and end 14 days after the conclusion of the polls.
