Zusammenfassung:"This analysis of the 2022 presidential succession in Kenya examines the process’ evolution over time, not just in the stages closest to the presidential election. The live speeches, statements, press conferences, and rallies of the key actors are featured and analysed carefully. In Kenya, major television stations and regional stations are highly developed and offer a wealth of research opportunities. The book analyses the Roadside Rallies, which are a unique feature of Kenyan political campaigns in the face of State repression. An intense struggle took place leading up to the 2022 election. What made this succession special was the determination of the incumbent president to shape the succession to his will. In effect, the 2022 succession revealed the fault lines in the Kenya political class and the lengths an incumbent will go to assert his dominance over the succession process. The book explores the tools utilised by an Imperial President to circumvent legal and constitutional restrictions. For those interested in democracy in Africa, this study illustrates the very real barriers to its fulfillment." -- Back cover
