How did Kenyans in the diaspora cast their vote?
Votes could be cast at embassies in 12 countries for Tuesday’s election
Kenya’s presidential election has been dominating the headlines this week.
And while we still don’t know there results, there’s still plenty to talk about.
The Kenyan constitution gives all citizens living overseas the right to vote in elections.
