肯尼亚自一党专制时代以来就有议会和公民选举竞争的历史，包括议会和公民选举期间现任者的更替率很高。但在1991年恢复多党选举之前，实际上没有总统选举。由于缺乏监督机构和三权分立理论，总统这个庞然大物仍然是民主化的障碍。2010年颁布的宪法试图通过建立制衡机制和县作为第二级政府来削弱总统这个庞然大物，从而弥补这种民主缺陷。
Kenya has had a history of electoral competition at the parliamentary and civic levels since the authoritarian era of single-party rule, including high turnover of incumbents during parliamentary and civic elections. But before reverting to multiparty elections in 1991, there were effectively no presidential elections. The presidential behemoth remained an impediment to democratization owing to the absence of oversight institutions and the doctrine of separation of powers. The constitution promulgated in 2010 sought to remedy this democratic defciency by chipping away at the presidential behemoth through the creation of checks and balances and counties as a second tier government.
