Holocaust exhibition | Electoral justice in Kenya

‘Stolpersteine’, or stumbling stones, have in recent times been placed outside homes where deported Jews had last lived in Nazi Germany, to commemorate the painful history of Jewish expulsion and extermination. And, as Duane Jethro writes, some of these stumbling stones appear to locate South African memory in the streets of Berlin.

Kenya’s 2017 election process was one of the most litigated in the history of the 54-year-old nation. The country’s electoral commission has been challenged in court on numerous occasions especially by the National Super Alliance, the country’s main opposition coalition. Jeremiah Ogonda Asaka argues that the alliance’s Supreme Court petition that led to the annulment of the election was part of a broader push to ensure justice in the country’s electoral processes.
