High Court Grants Political Parties, Observers Access to IEBC Election Records - September 2026

The High Court has granted political parties and accredited election observers the right to access and examine electoral records and data held by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. Additionally, the High Court has declared parts of Kenya's Public-Private Partnerships Act unconstitutional, ruling that Parliament must have oversight over PPP projects creating financial obligations for the national government, with the declaration suspended for six months. Separately, a High Court in Vihiga revoked a man's grant to administer his late father's estate for failing to include his daughters in succession proceedings, finding the omission to be fraudulent concealment.

Key Highlights

The High Court has declared parts of Kenya’s Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) Act unconstitutional, ruling that Parliament must have oversight over PPP projects that create financial obligations for the national government. The court has suspended the declaration for six months to allow for legislative amendments.

  • Sections 59, 60, and 72 of the PPP Act were declared unconstitutional to the extent they omit parliamentary approval for PPP projects resulting in government expenditure, guarantees, public debt, or other public liabilities.
  • The ruling stemmed from a petition challenging the legal framework for privately initiated PPP proposals, referencing projects like the Greenfield International Airport (GKIA) and KETRACO.
  • The court rejected the argument that the PPP framework allows inadequate competition for privately initiated proposals, emphasizing adherence to transparency, fairness, and value for money.
