General elections were held in Kenya on 6 December 1969, the first since independence in 1963. The country had become a de facto one-party state after President Jomo Kenyatta had banned the Kenya People's Union on 30 October,^[1] with Kenyatta's Kenya African National Union being the sole party to participate in the election.

600 KANU candidates stood for the 158 seats in the newly unicameral National Assembly, with 77 incumbents defeated. Voter turnout was 44.6%.^[2]^[3] Following the election, a further 12 members were appointed by Kenyatta.
