Description This paper aimed to enhance the existing studies on political discourse by investigating referential strategies used to institutionalise ideologies in coalition governments in nascent democracies. The objective of the study was to define referential strategies employed by Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga as principals in Kenyas 2008 coalition government and to construct and negotiate their ideological perspectives in governance. Four written texts were purposively sampled and accessed from the electronic data searches. The study was anchored on Critical Discourse Analysis approach. The results indicated that linguistic choices are ideologically and politically motivated in a consistent process of representation.
