Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan actively sought to block the UhuRuto ticket in the 2013 elections.
In a briefing with the French Foreign ministry officials on the situation in Kenya prior to the March 2013 elections, Annan -- who brokered the peace deal following the 2007/8 elections -- urged the French ministry to pass the message that “some of the individuals who are indicted will be arrested and transferred to The Hague.”
