NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenya’s main opposition group says police have detained one of its advisers ahead of a planned protest ceremony to stage a mock inauguration of Raila Odinga as president. Odinga’s National Super Alliance said in a statement that the detained man, economist David Ndii, was recently appointed chairman of a committee organizing the protest event on Dec. 12. The statement said police arrested Ndii Sunday in Diani on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast. Odinga successfully challenged President Uhuru Kenyatta’s August re-election in court but then boycotted a rerun vote in October, demanding electoral reforms. Kenyatta won with 98 per cent the votes and was inaugurated last week.
