Kenya’s much-anticipated presidential election – taking place tomorrow – could usher in the country’s first-ever female deputy president.

Karua, a long-standing member of parliament and an advocate of the High Court of Kenya, as well as a former minister for Justice, says rampant corruption is at the top of her agenda.
Many within Kenya say Karua should not so much be seen as the next deputy president, but as a likely head of state in a few years time, so many many eyes within East Africa follow this remarkable politician with great interest.
