Who will be the punching bag in 2022 elections? In Kenya, presidential elections are driven by ‘objects of aggression’; a thing, person or situation to which collective anger and rejection is directed. The 1992 election was an anti-Moi election; the 1997 election was equally driven by anti-Moi sentiments, culminating in the removal of Kanu from power in 2002. The object of aggression in the 2022 election will either be Uhuru Kenyatta or William Ruto. In central Kenya, Ruto has been welcomed with open arms, but, not necessarily because they love him.
