Uhuru Kenyatta, the President of Kenya, has stated that he will not be intimidated and plans to remain in active political practice. He did not specify who is trying to intimidate him but expressed defiance towards those who steal his goats. Kenyatta’s appeal to superstition in Kenyan politics is notable because he himself dismantled political immunity from due process during his presidency. Despite this, his hold on the Jubilee party has weakened, with the party losing seats and shrinking dramatically. Kenyatta’s despotic tendencies led him to acquire the opposition through a handshake agreement as a check on potential revolt within his ranks. His inability to gather meaningful support within his own party should make him realize the nature and magnitude of his political legacy. The article also discusses other political parties in Kenya and their struggles for power.
