The 2017 Kenyan general elections take place next week but uncertainties remain around the likely scenarios and timelines for the polls. With high scope for a contested outcome prompting both legal petitions and political dialogue, there remain credible conditions under which it will take several weeks for a new government to take office and consolidate its position of authority.
In this note, we explore the most likely scenarios and timelines. These will primarily focus on:

• a run-off second-round victory (with or without a petition)
• a highly-flawed election resulting in a prolonged political crisis or even an elections re-run.
