Abstract
The contemporary political landscape in Kenya has bee n marred by political antagonism and unhealthy competition among the political actors. The Kenyan citizens have bore the brunt of the negative outcomes of this approach to political engagement in seeking solutions to their socioeconomic challenges like poo r roads, lack of access to health and educational facilities especially in marginalized areas, high crime rate, inflation, unemployment among others. There is need for a paradigm shift to ensure positive socio - economic outcomes are achieved. This paper the refore seeks to demonstrate how a bi - partisan approach in responding to the contemporary socio - economic challenges can help achieve socioeconomic development and milestones in Kenya. This study is grounded on political theory while t he Search, Appraisal, S ynthesis and Analysis (SALSA) framework was used to review d ifferent articles from revered journals related to bipartisan policy, non - confrontational political approaches and pragmatic political ideals. The reviewed literatures revealed that achieving bipa rtisanship in a competitive political environment is a tedious process but ultimately if achieved produces positive socio - economic outcomes like fast tracking of bills and policies in parliament meant to ensure provision of services to the people, value ad dition to suggested ideas and minimal obstruction in the implementation of projects and services to the people. The study recommends a wide stakeholder engagement and intensive training of Non state actors like the Civil Society groups, State actors like e lected representatives at the , Constituency, County and National assembly on the value of bipartisanship and how to engage posi tively on issues of common good. These bipartisan ideals that will enhance their service delivery and ensure socio - economic devel opment at the constituency . County and National level s .
