Kenya Opposition Poised to Sweep
Â
There’s a major shakeup underway in Kenya. It appears that opposition leader Raila Odinga is enroute to a victory. Voter turnout in this election was unprecedented.Â
According to the NY Times: ”The opposition appears to be sweeping Kenya’s elections, according to preliminary results released on Friday, with a populist challenger poised to unseat the incumbent president and several high profile ministers voted out of office.
According to partial results aired on three Kenyan television stations, Raila Odinga, a flamboyant businessman campaigning as champion of the poor, has about 57 percent of the vote, compared to less than 40 percent for Mwai Kibaki, the incumbent who is known for boosting Kenya’s economy but favoring his own tribe.”
The question is, what does this mean for the future of Kenya?
