Presidential debates were introduced in Kenya ahead of the 2013 General Election, and have been held for the 2013 and 2017 polls.

The 2013 debate brought together all the presidential contestants and can be said to e the most successful so far.

The 2017 debate was snubbed by some of the top contenders, creating a disappointment for Kenyans who were waiting for their top leaders to square it out.
