KENYA PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS 2022

ByMartin Wagah

Kenya’s 2022 General Election has been a roller coaster of lauded firsts, lousy mishaps, laughable decisions, bitter political rhetoric, an orchestral revelation of open secrets and recently, a vicious court battle whose culmination is awaited with anxiety across the East African region.

I explore a dataset compiled by members of the public that contains the presidential results that are being contested in the highest courts of Kenya. I find curious patterns in what we thought was a close election, and offer potential trajectories of further exploration that litigants and the supreme court judges may take to fully grasp any peculiarities that may indicate electoral malpractice.

The code will be posted on my git soon and the link will be added here [].

    THE  SAFARI

    ByMartin Wagah

    A frightful foreboding filled the room as Adira stood before her mother. Her cheeks were ruby red with anger, and her mother’s skin was glowing in the sunset’s scarlet lights. Both women held onto their waists and leaned forward as if bracing themselves against the other’s attack. While watching the two squaring off, one would…
