Upcoming Kenyan Elections

The International Crisis Group published on 30 May 2017 a report titled "Kenya's Rift Valley: Old Wounds, Devolution's New Anxieties."

The report concludes that while major Kikuyu versus Kalenjin conflict is unlikely during elections scheduled for August 2017, serious local violence is possible, particularly as the creation of new counties run by powerful locally-elected officials has increased the stakes of political competition.
