With Supreme Court ruling, I recommend Susanne Mueller’s assessment of Kenya’s voting

Now that Kenya’s Supreme Court has upheld a narrow Ruto-Rigathi win in the 2022 presidential election, I recommend for a good political science assessment of the campaign Susanne Mueller’s election eve piece for ISPI, the Italian Institute for International Political Studies: “Ethnicity and Violence: New Dynamics in Kenya’s Elections“.

This flows into Mueller’s shorter Washington Post Monkey Cage piece after the vote:
