Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga.

In 2013, President Barack Obama's envoy to Africa Johnnie Carson delivered a strong message to Kenyans and warned that choices have consequences. Carson had foreseen impending political dangers when he told Kenyans that national leaders are responsible for their actions and that those actions would not only affect Kenyans.

He warned that the outcome of the election could have implications beyond our borders since a president works with the international community.
