NAIROBI, Aug 16 — Kenya braced today for a protracted legal battle after William Ruto was declared the victor in a closely fought presidential race over the objections of more than half the electoral commission, stoking fears of political violence.
Odinga’s Azimio La Umoja Alliance is expected to hold a news conference on Tuesday to give its verdict on the election outcome and chart the way forward. Kenya, East Africa’s richest and most stable nation, has a history of election disputes that have resulted in bloodshed, with over 1,200 people killed in widespread violence after the 2007 presidential vote. More than 100 people were killed in 2017 after the Supreme Court overturned the result due to anomalies in the voting process.
