The Kenya Social Congress (KSC) is a political party in Kenya. Its symbol is a broom.

Background
After Kenya gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1963, independence leader Jomo Kenyatta became President in 1963. As with many African leaders, Kenya's new government faced struggles of legitimacy .When the opposition party, the Kenya People's Union, was banned in 1969, Kenya became a de facto one-party state. One-party rule was strengthened under Kenyatta's successor, Daniel arap Moi, whose rule was characterized by centralization of power and human rights abuses. In 1991, Section 2(A) of Kenya's constitution was repealed, allowing opposition to once again exist to the ruling Kenya Africa National Union (KANU). A myriad of opposition parties emerged, including the Kenya Social Congress. The first multi-party elections were held on 29 December 1992.

History
The KSC was established in June 1992 by activist George Anyona. Anyona, who had previously served in Parliament, had been imprisoned by the regimes of Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel arap Moi from 1977-1978, again from 1982-1984, and finally from 1990-1992. While he was expected to join FORD-Kenya, he instead created his own party. Anyona had wanted to name the party "Kenya National Congress", but the name had already been taken. The party was created in opposition to the rule of KANU and Daniel arap Moi. Unlike FORD-Kenya, the KSC had a much smaller support base and was thus immune to the fragmentation typical of larger opposition movements. In addition, the intertwining of the party with the personality of Anyona prevented any internal challenges, but also hampered the party's ability to survive after his death. Nevertheless, the party has continued to operate despite poor electoral performances in recent years .Upon Anyona's death, his work was praised by the left-wing Kenya Socialist Democratic Alliance for resisting the Moi regime. As is typical of Kenyan political parties, the KSC lacks institutionalization and has been historically dominated by Anyona and the party founders. After losing the KSC's only parliamentary seat in 2002, Anyona was killed in a car accident in Nairobi in 2003.

Electoral Results
Anyona ran as the party's presidential candidate in the December 1992 general elections, finishing sixth in a field of eight candidates with 0.3% of the vote. In the parliamentary elections, the party received 0.3% of the vote, winning one seat in the National Assembly out of a total 188; Anyona in Kitutu Masaba.

Anyona was the KSC's presidential candidate again for the 1997 elections, finishing eighth out of the fifteen candidates with 0.3% of the vote, and retaining his one seat in the National Assembly out of 210. The party lost parliamentary representation following the 2002 elections, which saw the end of Moi's tenure.

It nominated 16 candidates for the 2007 general elections, but received only 0.1% of the vote, remaining seatless.

This was repeated in the 2013 elections, in which it nominated 12 National Assembly candidates. and was part of the CORD Coalition that supported Raila Odinga as the presidential candidate.
