Analysts expect the coming year to be active, with government decisions and public debate shaping the road to the 2027 General Election.
One major development likely to gain pace is the adoption of electric vehicles.
After government incentives revived the sector in 2025, charging stations expanded to over 200, and more growth is expected as private investors enter the market.
Political temperatures are also expected to rise sharply in 2026. Campaign activities, coalition talks, and grassroots mobilisation are likely to intensify as leaders position themselves early for the 2027 polls.
On development, the Kenya Kwanza administration is expected to push its infrastructure agenda more aggressively.
Roads, stadiums, and the Affordable Housing programme are likely to dominate government spending priorities.
Political parties may also experience fresh cracks and realignments.
Kenya’s fluid political culture suggests defections, quiet alliances, and shifting loyalties as politicians seek relevance ahead of elections.
Technology will remain a major talking point, particularly the growing influence of artificial intelligence.
Sectors such as agriculture, logistics, and telecommunications are expected to integrate AI tools more deeply, reshaping how work is done.
A Cabinet reshuffle is another possibility that could dominate headlines.
President William Ruto has previously used reshuffles to respond to public pressure, reward performance, or restore political balance.
Economic pressures may also force the government to revisit fiscal policy. Rising living costs, revenue challenges, and demands for services could trigger a supplementary budget and revisions to the Finance Bill.
Together, these developments point to a year of transition and heightened activity.
For Kenyans, 2026 is shaping up to be a decisive period that sets the tone for the next election cycle and the country’s longer-term direction.
