For the past two decades, Kenya has experienced genuinely competitive politics, with presidential election strategies focusing on five key tribal groups.
This shift marks a departure from the previous era of imperial presidency and one-party state, where access to presidential candidacy documents was strictly controlled by the presidency.
The five major vote bloc ethnic groups in Kenya are the Gema community, comprising the Gikuyu, Embu, and Meru tribes, followed by the Luhyia, Kalenjin, Luo, and Akamba communities.
