If you mean just potassium hydroxide or its aqueous solution, then no, because their are no chlorine atoms present. The only elements present are potassium, hydrogen and oxygen. Molten KOH produces potassium at the cathode and oxygen at the anode, and the solution gives hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode.
