JUST IN : Odinga quits Kenya’s election run- off

Raila Odinga on Tuesday said he will not participate in the October 26 scheduled re-run of the Presidential election.

Mr. Odinga said his withdrawal would give the electoral commission enough time to introduce reforms that will help deliver a more credible election.

The Supreme Court annulled the result of the original 8 August poll after finding irregularities and declaring it “neither transparent or verifiable”.

The electoral commission had declared incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta the winner.
