A statement from the prosecutor’s office said a serving MP is among those who have been charged.
The offences include the bribery of voters and incitement to violence.
Kenya’s 8 August vote comes nearly a decade after disputed election results fuelled violence that left more than 1,000 dead and 500,000 displaced.
However the last elections in 2013 passed off relatively peacefully. The prosecutor’s office also ordered investigations over violent incidents in five regions in different parts of the country.
