摘要

肯尼亚在2022年8月举行了选举。越来越难以预测和竞争激烈的选举往往降低了东非地区的大选趋势,在东非地区,预先确定的结果和投票操纵往往是常态,肯尼亚也不例外。然而,这次肯尼亚的情况有所不同。肯尼亚政治中毫无疑问的关键时代似乎不再决定肯尼亚选民的基调。通常以种族划分的投票联盟似乎已成为过去。在选举过程中,主要候选人否认暴力,转而向支持者呼吁和平。通过并行的选票表进行的独立监督和向公众提供选举委员会从投票站公布的数据,使公众了解了这次选举。在选举前、选举中和选举后,肯尼亚国内、肯尼亚邻国、非洲其他国家和其他地方的焦虑情绪都在上升。本研究考察了2022年肯尼亚大选中肯尼亚选民的成熟度,以对抗在这种特殊时期一直困扰着这个国家的所有可能性。这一做法值得东非邻国特别是非洲国家乃至世界各国效仿。可靠的日报和周报、新闻短片、大众传播媒介的采访、与政治分析家的一对一辩论、积极参加关于选举的小组讨论和讨论小组所提供的关于选举的资料,提供了把一些东西写在纸上的必要资料。讨论小组的普遍共识是肯尼亚已经取得了飞跃。结论可以得出,自2007-2008年以来,肯尼亚的选举进程取得了重大进展。2022年的选举过程展示了一个值得匹敌的成熟民主。

Elections in Kenya: When All Roads in East Africa Lead to Nairobi
Kenya went to the elections in August 2022. The increasing unpredictable and competitive elections have often down-graded general election trends in the East Africa region where predetermined outcomes and poll fixing are the often norm Kenya was not going to be an exception. However, the case in Kenya was different this time. The era of unquestionable linchpins in Kenyan politics seemed to no longer dictate the tone among Kenyan voters. The voting alliance usually set among ethnic lines appeared to have been a matter of the past.  Leading candidates set tone by disowning violence and instead appealed for peace to their supporters during the process of elections. Independent monitoring via parallel vote tabulations and public access of data released by the electoral commission from polling stations kept the public informed of the contest. Before the elections, during and after, anxiety was on the rise within Kenya, among Kenya’s neighbors, the rest of Africa and elsewhere. This study examines the 2022 General Election in Kenya as to the maturity of the Kenya electorate against all the odds that has always beset the nation during such particular times. The example set is worth emulation by willing neighboring East African and African states in particular and the world at large. Literature on the elections from reliable daily and weekly tabloids, newsreels, interviews from the mass media, one- to- one debates with political analysts, active participation in panel discussions on the election and discussion groups furnished the necessary information to put something on paper. The general consensus in the discussion groups pitted Kenya to have made a leap forward. The conclusion can be drawn that a significant progress has been made in Kenya’s election process since 2007-2008. The process in 2022 has displayed a maturity of democracy worth rivalling.
