*"Mandate" is a French way of phrasing. In English, "mandat" is a "term (of office)", so "...president who is seeking a second term" would be a more natural phrasing here.
**"Who refers to people", "that" refers to things.
***Better phrasing: "...of two dynasties that have shaped Kenyan politics..."
General note: In English, we don't have a space between the last letter of a word and the punctuation mark that follows.
