RAILA ODINGA CHALLENGES KENYA ELECTION RESULT

Raila Odinga, who came second in Kenya’s presidential election, has filed a legal case challenging the result

According to the electoral commission, Mr Odinga took 48.8% of the vote, losing to William Ruto’s 50.5%.

However, four of the seven electoral commissioners refused to endorse the outcome alleging that the way the final results were tallied was “opaque”.

The seven judges at the Supreme Court will have 14 days to make a ruling.
