What is in it for wananchi in this political show?

This day might go down as one of the more important ones in Kenya’s political history. The main Opposition party, ODM, is celebrating ten years of existence. While affiliate parties of the Jubilee Alliance, having dissolved, are joining forces in the new grand party, Jubilee Party.

The events are significant because of what they mean for both horizontal accountability (intra-elite politics) and vertical accountability between wananchi and politicians.
