Photo: APNairobi: Kenya’s Supreme Court nullified President Uhuru Kenyatta’s election win citing irregularities on Friday and ordered a new poll within 60 days after last month’s voting was followed by protests and sporadic violence that killed at least 28 people. In court, a grinning Odinga pumped his fist in the air as his supporters cheered and shook his hand. Kenyatta’s ruling party also swept the legislature. “This indeed is a very historic day for the people of Kenya,” Odinga said after the decision. “Over 8 million people supported the election of Uhuru Kenyatta but the Supreme Court has ignored this in the ruling which is very shameful,” said Matheri Wa Hungu.
