Think tanks are key to any political campaign for the presidency. Former

One factor that has come out of the primaries that is bound to impact on
the August 8th polls is the current mood of Kenyan voters. Voters are clearly

on their promises. As a result we have seen a night watchman win the
Jubilee nominations and a school cook as well. On the other side of the
political divide many big names have also fallen. Nyanza voters had no
qualms nor apologies to make in voting against Raila Odinga’s brother
Oburu Odinga. Here are the much bigger shocks to expect on August 8th.
