Kenyans are optimistic that 2018 will be a better year than 2017, a research has found.
The public hopes for an end to the divisive nature of politics and a return to normalcy, Trends and Insights for Africa reported.
A dispute involving President Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA principal Raila Odinga saw Kenya hold two elections - on August 8 and October 26.
After Raila rejected results of the first election, violent protests took place in his strongholds and left many dead and scores injured.
He and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka (Wiper) are planning a swearing in despite warning by Attorney General Githu Muigai that this amounts to treason and is punishable by death.
Seventy five per cent Jubilee Party supporters said they were optimistic about the new year, compared to 50 per cent of the National Super Alliance.
