The parliamentary elections in Kenya in 1969 were limited elections in which the ruling party had pre-selected candidates. They were held in Kenya on December 6, 1969.

On 7 November, he dissolved the National Assembly and announced shortly after new elections for December 6 at. 600 candidates who were all members of Kenyatta's own party Kenya African National Union (KANU ), were granted on 26 November for election, after they had sworn an oath of loyalty, which contained the commitment, among other things, 50 pounds (meaning the Kenya - Schilling ) to pay to the party coffers, which should be repaid in the event of the successful candidate. With a turnout of 44.6%, 157 men and one woman were chosen from this selection. In the individual constituencies were 2-10 candidates against each other. 77 members of the old National Assembly, which had competed for election, were not re-elected, 50 members of the old congregation once again received the approval of the voters. 108 candidates for the first time won a mandate in the National Assembly.
