It is in the hands of our political elite. Given the complexities of Kenya’s ethnic architecture, political alliances are necessary and essential for a united, peaceful, and progressive Kenya. Elite backstabbing, dogfights, squabbling, betrayal and bitterness have been the legacy of most of our past political alliances. Inclusive political alliances will help us move away from politics of ethnic tensions, conflicts, and confrontations, to politics of negotiation, compromise and consensus-building. Political alliances are first and foremost electoral vehicles for the political advancement of the top political elite.
