The history of elections in Kenya goes back to pre-independence when the first polls to the legislative council were held in 1920. At that time, the elections were for Europeans only. Africans did not feature anywhere.
It was not until 1957 elections that eight Kenyans were elected for the first time to represent the African population. In 1963, under universal suffrage, Kenya’s first truly multi-party election took place and Jomo Kenyatta became the first Prime Minister of independent Kenya.
