RAIRA ODINGA THREATENS ELECTION RE-RUN BOYCOTT

Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga has just announced that he’s not “ready” to take part in a planned re-run of the country’s presidential election.

Mr Odinga said he wanted “legal and constitutional guarantees” in place before agreeing to take part.

AFP news agency adds that Mr Odinga has set several conditions for taking part in the election on 17 October.

His conditions include the sacking of several election commission officials, a review of the electronic transmission of results and for all eight presidential candidates who took part in the 8 August poll to be allowed to contest in the upcoming election.

The Supreme Court annulled last month’s poll won by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
