Kenya’s Supreme Court has announced that the electoral board committed irregularities and illegalities during last month’s presidential vote harming the integrity of the election that handed President Uhuru Kenyatta a second five-year term.
Kenya’s Supreme Court has ordered a re-run of the presidential poll in 60 days.
Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga has hailed the decision as historic.
“This is a historic day for the people of Kenya and by extension for the people of the continent of Africa,” said Odinga, adding it was the first time a presidential result had been overturned in Africa.
“We are ready for elections but we don’t have confidence” in the electoral commission (IEBC), he added.
“Those commissioners must go,” said Odinga. “Most of them belong in jail.”
