The Star will have a look at what happened differently in the 2022 general elections compared to the previous two, under the 2010 Constitution. While the 2013 and 2017 presidential elections saw Kenya have at least eight candidates vying for the country’s top job, the 2022 contest had only four reach the ballot. The previous election cycles were marred by cases of electoral violence by competing opponents but the 2022 election saw very few cases of violence reported. Incidences of post-election violence that were experienced in the 2013 and 2017 general elections largely by supporters of the losing candidate were not reported in 2022. Whether there were irregularities and illegalities committed in the conduct of the 2017 presidential election.
