Several members of Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta Cabinet have suspended their ambitions for elective office this year, averting potential falling-out within the coalition he is building behind his preferred successor Raila Odinga. Close to half of the 22 Cabinet Secretaries had in the recent past signalled their intention to run for seats in the August 9 elections.
But only four of them resigned by the February 9 deadline set by law for appointed public officials aspiring for elective office to do so.
