Worried about the possibility of politically-motivated charges, the Bush administration pushed governments around the world to sign agreements that they would not bring charges against US nationals before the ICC. Several countries, including Kenya and Tanzania, lost some portion of economic and military assistance from the US for their refusal to sign. In 2007, however, as Pentagon officials warned the White House that this approach was undermining US cooperation with the same countries in the 'War on Terror', waivers were signed to restore funding. The Obama administration has stopped asking countries to sign bilateral immunity agreements, but has not yet signed onto the ICC

The officially-announced results of the December 2007 elections in Kenya showed Kibaki narrowly winning re-election, while many ministers and members of parliament from his party were defeated. Significant irregularities in the vote-counting process led to charges of rigging and widespread violence during which more than 1,300 Kenyans were killed and approximately 300,000 were displaced. At the end of February 2008, through the mediation efforts of former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Kibaki and the main opposition candidate, Raila Odinga, reached a power-sharing agreement that was still holding (though at times just barely) by early 2010
