President Uhuru Kenyatta wins re-run election
London, Oct. 30, 2017 (AltAfrika)-President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya has been declared winner of last week’s re-run election, which was boycotted by the main opposition group.
Wafula Chebukati, the election commission chief, said on Monday that Kenyatta got 7.5 million votes, or 98% of the votes that were cast.
The announcement that Kenyatta was the winner by a huge margin was expected because he faced no significant challenge after opposition leader Raila Odinga refused to participate, saying the election was a sham.
Kenyatta was also declared the winner of a presidential vote in August, but that election was later nullified by the Supreme Court
