I spent most of last night and today flipping through US TV channels, trying to follow one of the most consequential elections in history. Needless to say, the ruling Republicans have ‘seen very bad things.’  The Democrats have officially taken control of both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate, ending the Republican trifecta that began in January 2025 when President Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term. In Kenyan terms, the Democrats, the equivalent of the United Opposition, now hold the majority of the seats in both chambers of the legislature.   This will cripple Trump’s legislative agenda, since his rivals control both chambers. Why does this matter to us? Consider our own Executive and Legislature, and their relationship over the last four years.   President William Ruto has had the Senate and the National Assembly wrapped around his finger since his UDA party holds the majority in both houses. This has helped him pass some contentious laws such as the Finance Bill 2024, which led to mass protests by Gen Zs in June that year and in the years after. Take that power away, and he would be unable to get things done.   President Trump has alluded to using his veto powers to get around the new hurdles, but this rarely ends well for incumbents. Back home, President Ruto continues to face growing public dissatisfaction and criticism over the high cost of living, inflation, corruption, and extrajudicial killings, to name a few.   Read Also Kenya Track Survey ranks top…
