President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto have made at least 200 campaign stops in over 20 counties in the past 30 days.

It has emerged that the constitutional requirement for the winning presidential candidate to secure a quarter of votes cast in a majority of counties (24), in addition to garnering 50 per cent plus one of the presidential vote, is informing the grueling campaign schedule for a contest that opinion polls suggest is still too close to call.
