Two, I was apprehensive that the idea would come a cropper considering our history with political party organisation. In virtually every election Kenya has held since the reintroduction of multi-party system, voters have been mobilised around tribes. This country needs two main national political parties. Although Kenya is constitutionally a multi-party state, two main parties could force politicians to start agitating around ideologies rather than preoccupy themselves with ethnic competition. The two main coalitions have the opportunity to change the course of history simply by tapping into this desire and showing the nation a new direction.
