Kenya now a single party state, but the noise will get louder

The ‘break-ups’ of the last election cycle have been resolved in a series of public reconciliations.

The first one was the biggest, Uhuru and his former ‘arch nemesis’ Raila famously buried the hatchet on March 9. An avalanche of truces ensued thereafter: On May 31, during the National Prayer Breakfast, Uhuru shook hands with Kalonzo Musyoka. This ceremony united the four contestants of the 2017 election with hugs and handshakes.
