Kenya presidential election annulled by Supreme Court

Kenya’s Supreme Court on Friday annulled the result of the country’s recent presidential election won by incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Citing irregularities, the Supreme Court said a new poll should be held within 60 days.

The election commission had declared incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta the winner of last month’s election.

But opposition candidate Raila Odinga claimed that the commission’s IT system had been hacked to manipulate the results.

Kenya is the first African Country to have its Presidential election annulled by the supreme court.

With agency reports.
