ASC Africa Today Seminar: Kenya in 2013: the Elections, the Constitution and the Jubilee

Charles Hornsby. The talk will examine the 2013 Kenyan general elections in the context of previous since polls, and will present (so far unpublished) comparative analysis of five of the six simultaneous elections, and what they tell us about the viability of the results and about the underlying basis of support for the Jubilee coalition (i.e. "why Uhuru won"). It will then look at events since April, focussing on devolution, the new "non-political" ministerial structure and the ICC. It will also examine how the results of the election remain contested and how those doubts are played back into the political sphere both domestically and via international opinion. Please register.
