Multi-Party Politics in Kenya

Investigates how the 1992 multiparty election forced on the east African country by western powers and greeted euphorically by Kenyans as a breakthrough to a stable democracy, proved instead to be a triumph for the despotic Moi regime. Among the factors mentioned are overconfidence by the new opposition parties, an underestimation of Moi's popularity and political resilience, and the government's ability to manipulate affairs in places western observers did not know where to look or could not afford to go to.
