This article assesses the continuities and discontinuities that have attended electoral law reform in Kenya since the enactment of the 2010 Constitution. Using the presidential elections of 2013 and 2017 as main frames of reference, the paper examines the extent to which the vision of electoral justice established under Kenya’s transformative Constitution has been realized in law and in practice. Ultimately, it suggests that beyond the legal contestations which periodically emerge during electoral cycles, lie important socio-political
struggles which have their roots in the history and structure of the post-colonial Kenyan State. It is this broader, and more fundamental, political question which must be addressed if true electoral justice is to be achieved in Kenya.
