The Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) has announced 365 short-term employment opportunities across the country as preparations intensify for Kenya’s next electoral cycle.
In a public notice issued on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, through MyGov, the ORPP said it is seeking competent and self-motivated Kenyans to serve as monitors of political party activities during the pre-election, election and post-election periods.
The vacancies comprise 55 County Monitors, 290 Constituency Monitors and 20 Call Centre Monitors. The successful candidates will be engaged on short-term contracts and deployed at county, constituency and headquarters levels, depending on their roles.
The monitors will play a key role in tracking political party activities and assessing compliance with the law and established regulations governing political parties.
“The successful candidates will monitor the pre-election, election, and post-election activities of political parties, including their compliance with the Constitution, the Political Parties Act, and the Code of Conduct for Political Parties,” the ORPP said.
Application process
Applicants have been directed to review the detailed qualifications and requirements for each position through the ORPP website before submitting their applications through the organisation’s e-recruitment portal.
The deadline for applications is September 1, 2026, at 5.00 p.m. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered.
Those selected for the positions will also be required to obtain clearance certificates from a number of government agencies.
These include the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) and Higher Education Loans Board (HELB).
The ORPP said the recruitment will be conducted on the basis of equal opportunity and encouraged women, young people, persons with disabilities and members of marginalised communities who meet the requirements to apply.
“ORPP is committed to implementing the provisions of the Constitution on fair competition and merit and affording equal employment opportunities to all,” the notice stated.
The office also cautioned applicants against attempting to influence the recruitment process through canvassing or submitting fraudulent documents.
It warned that anyone found presenting fake certificates, forged documents or false information would face automatic disqualification and could also be subjected to criminal prosecution.
