Résumé

Kenya's elections of March 2013 seem exceptional, or - at least - atypical. Even though the polarized political situation had raised the worst fears, just as it had sparked violence in previous elections, the 2013 vote was peaceful. However, the optimism was dampened by the way politicians harnessed ethnic prejudice and reproduced Kenya's founding divide. Uhuru Kenyatta's narrow, first-round victory was not all that surprising, given the media's extensive coverage of his campaign. His victory begins a new political cycle - one marked by the weight and challenges of the past. Will the 2013 elections and the unknowns accompanying it change Kenya's political and geopolitical game? Will they change a society that has seen huge economic, social and cultural upheavals?
