“Perplexing Burst of Political Party Switches by Kenya’s Elites – A Dangerous Fuel for Violence?”

Unraveling the Enigma: Tracing Kenya’s Puzzling Political Terrain

Delving into the Abyss of Coalitions and Their Merits and Demerits

What abets the enigmatic political reality of Kenya?

Does the perplexity stem from the government’s inaptitude or from the people’s divergent views and interests? How do fluid political coalitions influence the way forward for the nation?

Intricacies of the Floating Coalitions

As Kenya advances towards larger, hybrid coalitions consisting of more than two parties, the biggest challenge lies in maintaining coherence and integrity. These arrangements often rest on swinging personalities, resulting in frequent shifting of allegiances and power struggles.

The Upsides of these Wavering Coalitions

Despite their inherent instability, floating coalitions have their benefits. They help in bringing together political parties with a common goal, regardless of ideological differences. They also keep checks and balances in place, reducing the risk of tyrannical rulership.

Required Adjustments for a Better Future

To derive maximum benefit from the coalition arrangement, Kenyan politicians need to develop a new way of thinking. They have to assume a collective responsibility, increase their democratic credentials, and practice more inclusive politics that accommodates all regions and communities of the country.
