Raila Odinga’s opposition Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has the majority of seats - but it is far from clear whether it will take them or dash for the seats on the government benches.

That uncertainty is the result of the wave of fury that has swept Kenya since the presidential election on 27 December.

Everyone knew that the presidential election would be close, but few predicted that the events that followed would herald what many are calling a “generational revolution” in one of Africa’s most stable states.

The straw that broke the camel’s back was the perception by many Kenyans and the international community that the election was rigged.

Yet could the election fiasco merely have been a trigger to ignite simmering tensions, bubbling under the surface for decades?
