Government of National Unity (Kenya)
- Government of National Unity (Kenya)
The Government of National Unity, also known as the "grand coalition cabinet", is a designation for the current coalition government currently in power in Kenya since April 2008. It was formed through negotiations between the Orange Democratic Movement's leader and presidential candidate Raila Odinga and Party of National Unity's leader and incumbent presidential candidate Mwai Kibaki in the aftermath of the ethnopolitical violence which had followed the flawed and controversial presidential election of the previous year. Kibaki sits as the president of the cabinet, while Odinga sits as a non-executive prime minister, while the cabinet is constituted of 40 ministers and 52 deputy ministers from both rivals' parties.
The deal for the creation of the cabinet was finalized on April 13, 2008, followed by the appointment of Odinga as prime minister on April 14 and the swearing-in of all members of the cabinet on April 17.
