In the midst of the relief that there is a political settlement on the IEBC we are missing the fact that a precedent has been set. This was unlike any other election we had held in Kenya in the previous 20 years, including the 2005 referendum. In 2010 we passed one of the most progressive constitutions in the world. On the electoral body we came up with a commission to deal with both elections and boundary demarcation. Yet, here we were, 32 months later, passing a constitution that fundamentally changed how Kenyans were governed, without a life lost or a building destroyed.
