Stanley Kenga is a Kenyan politician from Magarini Constituency, Kilifi County, which is in the coastal region of Kenya.
Kenga, who was formerly campaigning under the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) umbrella, is now eyeing the Magarini parliamentary seat in the forthcoming by-elections, under the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) alliance.
He ran for the Magarini parliamentary seat in 2022 and lost the seat by garnering 11,925 votes against his immediate competitor, Harrison Kombe, who defeated him thinly with a 21-vote difference by getting 11,946 votes.
This defeat led to a legal battle, with Kenga filing a petition challenging Kombe’s win, and the High Court declaring it nullified, citing electoral irregularities, illegal vote-tallying, and IEBC officer misconduct.

The Court of Appeal and Supreme Court upheld this in 2024, cleared the seat and paved the way for the November 27, 2025, by-election.
Kenga was cleared by the IEBC in October 2025 as DCP’s flagbearer, dismissing claims of being a “proxy” for Gachagua’s scores-settling and rejecting reported job offers from the Kenya Kwanza administration to step aside.
