Kibra proved 'handshake’ naysayers wrong

With the victory of ODM’s Imran Okoth in the Kibra, the Raila-Uhuru coalition demonstrated the significant progress that their joint political endeavour for uniting Kenya has made.

In the four months leading up to the November 7 ballot, political commentators emphasised Kibra as crucial in the run-up to the 2022 General Election. Created in 2013 by dividing up the larger Kibera constituency into two parts, Kibra has been represented by the ODM but remained an area troubled by an exceptional degree of poverty.
