It only took a few months after the elections in 2013 for al-Shabaab to make its presence known with the horrific events at the Westgate Shopping Centre that left 67 people dead. But terrorism and insecurity remain a constant threat in Kenya, and groups like al-Shabaab and others may look to undermine and influence the election outcome in the weeks leading up to August 8, or even in the days after. 
Ilichukua takribani miezi miwili tu baada ya kumalizika kwa uchaguzi mwaka 2013 ambapo al-Shabaab walifanya tukio lililofahamika kama horrific events at the Westgate Shopping Centre lililoua watu 67.Lakini ugaidi na na usalama duni nchini Kenya bado ni tatizo makundo kama al-Shabaab na mengine yanaweza kutumia upepo wa uchaguzi kuivamia Kenya Agosti 8, au hata siku za usoni baada ya uchaguzi.
