The official campaign period for Kenya’s August 9 elections ends Saturday, with Deputy President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga being the clear front runners in the race to succeed retiring President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The two candidates made their final pitches, 17 kilometres from each other, on the same day during large public meetings at Nyayo Stadium and Kasarani Stadium in Nairobi, looking to rally huge turnouts in their respective support bases as well as try to coax undecided voters.
