What you need to know:
Kenya has suffered consecutive ethnic-based violence in every election cycle from 1992 when multiparty politics was reintroduced.
These concerns led President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga to forge an unexpected alliance on March 9, 2018 under the Building Bridges Initiative, commonly known as the “handshake.”
BBI is expected to unite the country and lead it away from politics of confrontation and succession battles.
