Developments in 2013 were dominated by general elections in March and the proceedings against President Uhuru Kenyatta and Vice President William Ruto at the ICC. Although many elements of the electoral process failed, prompting the losing party to reject the results, the polls passed peacefully. The election of Kenyatta and Ruto, combined with their criticism of the ICC proceedings, led to deteriorating relations with key donors, but succeeded in forcing the ICC into a series of concessions throughout the year. Despite high levels of political uncertainty, the economy continued to grow, although it remained too early to assess the political and economic impact of the introduction of devolution, which came into effect following the election of 47 new county governments.
