Every five years, Kenya holds elections to pick new political leadership. Changes in political viewpoints of prominent and rising politicians affect many aspects of society. This is the circumstance since 2002.

No major party has ever existed without forming an alliance or coalition. There was no change in this year's elections. After the most recent election, where William Ruto was declared winner of the presidential elections, it was contested at the Supreme Court. The apex court will give its verdict tomorrow. This is a tremendous accomplishment and has nonetheless created a new chapter in Kenya's democratic process.
