BBC Radio 5 Live - Up All Night, 10/03/2013

Kenya decides - we find out about the bitter rivalry behind the election.

The latest from the Kenyan election and you help chose which track is next to join our virtual jukebox.

News from home and abroad with Dotun Adebayo

Richard Dowdon from the Royal African Society strips down the Kenyan election and explains the fascinating tribal rivalry which still runs through the country - and affects how people vote. The winner - Uhuru Kenyatta, born in the year Kenya gained independence, and the defeated candidate, Raila Odinga, come from rival families. Describing a 'deep dynastic interfamily, tribal and political' fight, he tells Dotun if Shakespeare were around he'd be writing about this 'extraordinary' stuff, nevermind the added twist that Mr Kenyatta is charged with crimes against humanity over violence from Kenya's previous election. 

It's the soundtrack to Up All Night, and your chance to chose your favourite track to join our virtual jukebox. Join Dotun and Mark Webster as they take your calls, emails and texts and hear which songs mean the most to you and why.
