On Tuesday evening on June 3 2008, Obama declared himself the victor of the US Democratic National Party’s nomination campaign. Obama now looks set to become the first black US national to win a major party nomination in a presidential contest. Obama is half Kenyan and on Tuesday celebration broke out across Kenya as news of his victory came in. African countries have expressed more optimism in US/Africa relations when the Democratic Party is in control. Coming hot on the heels of Pres. George Bush’s hugely successful PEPFAR, what future would an Obama presidency hold for Kenya and Africa as a whole?
