Four of seven commissioners on independent election commission reject official results that deliver victory to deputy president

Deputy President William Ruto, a self-described “hustler” who campaigned as a champion for the young and the poor, has won a narrow victory in the official results of Kenya’s presidential election race.

Even before the announcement, some of Mr. Odinga’s supporters stormed out of the main vote-counting venue, hurling chairs and a speaker’s podium as they left. The election last Tuesday was the most open and transparent in Kenyan history, with vote tallies uploaded to a public website from more than 46,000 voting stations. But the transparency also led to a slow count, and some tally sheets were questioned by candidates or were difficult to verify.

Mr. Ruto has been Mr. Kenyatta’s deputy president since 2013, but the two men had a falling-out that led to Mr. Kenyatta reconciling with his former opponent, Mr. Odinga, in a famous handshake in 2018.

Four people charged with stunt driving in Barrhaven Friday nightThe Ottawa Police Service charged four people with stunt driving as part of its annual \u0022Operation Noisemaker\u0022 campaign. And on Saturday night you could hear the Barrhaven street racing in Riverside South,... police are working hard but having almost no effect on the problem, because policing is the wrong approach to this and most law enforcement. Make the fine for making an illegal exhaust modification $25,000 and send MTO staff to wait outside each of the mod shops in Nepean. It's brutal in Orleans too. And the noise!
