The Presidential nominations started yesterday, with NASA flagbearer Raila Odinga and running mate Kalonzo Musyoka presenting their papers, among other candidates. Today will see President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto present their nomination papers to the IEBC. The partisan excitement and peaceful atmosphere of Sunday should continue to be the case all the way to the General Election and its results aftermath. The experience of freely choosing our leaders should be a dignified and safe one, not a matter of risking limb and life or livelihood and settlement. The official campaign time begun yesterday by the IEBC should preface Kenya’s biggest, most credible and successful election.
