In Kenya, presidential elections are driven by ‘objects of aggression’; a thing, person or situation to which collective anger and rejection is directed. The 1992 election was an anti-Moi election; the 1997 election was equally driven by anti-Moi sentiments, culminating in the removal of Kanu from power in 2002. The 2007 election sought to root-out Kikuyu hegemony. The 2013 election was largely driven by anti-ICC sentiments. And in 2017, voter-turnout and behaviour was largely driven by anti-Raila sentiments.
