A coalition of 44 small Kenyan political parties is petitioning Parliament to amend the Political Parties Act 2011 to secure what they claim is fair government funding ahead of the 2027 general elections. They argue the current structure unfairly favors larger parties, crippling their operational capabilities.

• Only 47 out of 91 registered political parties currently receive government funding.
• The National Liberal Party (NLP) leader, Augustus Muli, stated that 54 parties receive zero funding despite being licensed.
• The proposed amendment targets section 25 of the Political Parties Act 2011, which governs the distribution of funds.
• The Political Parties Act of 2011 mandates a minimum of 0.3 percent of national revenue for the Political Parties Fund (PPF).
• In the latest allocation, President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) received Ksh480,290,411, and Raila Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) received Ksh256,558,712.
