OPINION: How opposition divisions could hand Ruto an overwhelming 2027 victory
Verified: 2 outlets in 2 countries have reported this story since Nov 8.
Kenya’s presidential election is effectively a winner-takes-all contest, provided the winning candidate secures more than 50 per cent of valid votes cast and meets the constitutional geographical distribution threshold. A candidate does not need 80 per cent of Kenyans to support him. He needs his opponents to divide their support.
