In 2017, the Rift Valley Institute was involved in a study on the risks and challenges facing Kenya ahead of the 2017 elections and the prospects for a peaceful poll.

On 27 May 2019, the findings from that study were disseminated through the launch of a special issue of the Journal of Eastern African Studies: Has Kenya changed? The 2017 elections and the impact of constitutional reform. The event examined the main research findings from the special issue, including key governance issues, the 2017 elections and prospects for the 2022 elections.
