Even as major political parties organize heated campaigns against politicians running alone, a record 47 Kenyans have been cleared to run for President as independent candidates in the August General Election.
This could be Kenya’s longest presidential election ballot paper since multi-party elections in 1992 if all of them pass the final hurdle and are cleared to run by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
They will face leading contenders Deputy President William Ruto and Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party boss Raila Odinga and Safina flagbearer Jimi Wanjigi for the top job.
