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 [].

Optimism, no matter how latent in logic, often finds itself wrapped in the shameful garments of hype. Grand ideas appear absurd when measured against what we believe. This is because we comfort ourselves…
