What can Africa learn from Kenya’s election result?
Kenya’s presidential elections have ended up in court nearly every time since 1992. How has this shaped the country’s election transparency?
Kenya’s election process has concluded with the Supreme Court declaring that William Ruto was duly elected as the country’s 5th president.
Mr Ruto will be sworn in on 13th January after the Supreme Court dismissed the election petition submitted by his main opponent, Raila Odinga.
Raila lost even though he was backed by the outgoing president Uhuru Kenyatta, who has promised a smooth transition to his deputy, Ruto.
What lessons can Africa gain from Kenya’s hotly contested, yet most peaceful election process to date?
