President William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on March 7, 2025 , at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi .

This agreement, aimed at fostering national unity and addressing socio-economic challenges, has drawn comparisons to the famous March 9, 2018 , handshake.

While the 2018 handshake sought to ease post-election tensions, the 2025 MoU appears to be a strategic governance pact.

Some Kenyans are wondering: Is March the month of handshakes in Kenya ?.

As Kenya watches this new alliance unfold, the true test will be whether it delivers tangible benefits for the ordinary citizen.

Will this handshake be remembered as a turning point for national unity, or will it be another handshake that fades into history? For now, Kenyans remain hopeful but cautious, waiting to see if March is indeed a month of lasting political truce.
