| History |
Founding
president and liberation struggle icon Jomo
KENYATTA led Kenya from independence until his
death in 1978, when current President Daniel
Toroitich arap MOI took power in a
constitutional succession. The country was a de
facto one-party state from 1969 until 1982 when
the ruling Kenya African National Union (KANU)
made itself the sole legal party in Kenya. MOI
acceded to internal and external pressure for
political liberalization in late 1991. The
ethnically fractured opposition failed to
dislodge KANU from power in elections in 1992
and 1997, which were marred by violence and
fraud, but are viewed as having generally
reflected the will of the Kenyan people. The
country faces a period of political uncertainty
because MOI is constitutionally required to step
down at the next election that has to be held by
early 2003. |
