KENYA: CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM ROADMAP COLLAPSES ONE YEAR OUT FROM CRUCIAL ELECTIONS

   Mon, 23 August 2021

One year out from Kenya’s heavily contested elections, the judiciary may have sounded a death knell to the outgoing president’s plans to hold onto power and influence his succession. His controversial deputy may now have a straight road to the presidency if the latter can maintain his campaigning momentum and eat into ethnic heartlands of political opponents. The political battle is also playing out on the economic front, as Kenya’s debt burden continues to surge ahead of next year’s elections.
