Mwai Kibaki was the President of Kenya in 2006. He first took power on 2002 December 30, and reclaimed power in the disputed 2007 election.

Kibaki has made vast improvements to the economy after years of downturn, and also removed school fees on primary education. However, although he was initially elected on a platform of reform, he has not been able to reform government at a fast enough pace. The close results of the December 2007 election and the findings of voting result irregularities on all sides led to much public unrest and violence, which was ended only when the challenger Raila Odinga was made Prime Minister in a coalition government. Both the president and prime minister now share executive powers, and on 2010 August 4 a referendum took place which passed a new constitution for the country.
