In his October 28, 1992 speech announcing the dissolution of Parliament, Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi stated that "the Government is committed to providing a level playing ground field for all registered political parties and their candidates". For the first time in 26 years, eight million registered voters will have the opportunity to select from among candidates representing nine political parties. To gauge the extent to which the political environment in Kenya offered a "level playing ground field" to the various contesting parties, the International Republican Institute conducted a pre-election assessment from 28.10.-06.11.1992. The assessment focused on Kenya's electoral law and administration, the ability of political parties to organize and disseminate their messages, and the roles of the media and non-governmental organizations in informing and educating Kenyans on a grassroots level. The assessment team also analyzed the feasibility of a subsequent election observation mission. (DÜI-Hff)
