Author:	Rok Ajulu
Location:	Vol.25 No.76 (June 1998), pp275-285

Kenya's multi-party elections were the second since the advent of the 'democracy experiment' which started with the 'democracy wave' of the last half of the last decade (the Saba Saba uprising of 1990, and the donor pressure - the 1991 Paris Consultative Group's decision to withhold $1bn aid pending political reforms - which ultimately led to repeal of section 2(a) of the constitution in 1991 and the controversial 1992 elections). They finally took place from 29 December to 5 January 1998.
