Reading Time: < 1 minute

International observers of last week’s presidential elections rerun in Kenya have called on citizens who are unhappy about the declaration of incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta as the winner, to seek legal redress.

A day after Uhuru Kenyatta was declared winner of the Presidential election rerun boycotted by a section of the country, international observers are giving their verdict.

The European Union termed the current situation as a “dangerous political standoff”. Both the AU and EU called for those from any side that do not agree with the outcome to go to court.

This comes as opposition leader Raila Odinga announced that he would use peaceful protests, economic boycotts and convene a people’s assembly to push for free and fair elections.

Odinga who boycotted the rerun termed Kenyatta’s 98% victory as a sham.

He did not however say if he will move to court to challenge the results.
