Rising Political Temperatures in Kenya 

The country has in the recent past experienced rising political temperatures due to early campaigns by politicians.

Deputy President Ruto’s rally in Burma Market, Nairobi, on Thursday, January 28, 2021 was interrupted by a section of youth chanting BBI. 

The incident came a few days after ODM leader Raila Odinga was booed by a group of rowdy youth when he visited Githurai to drum up support for Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
