Uhuru Wins Kenya Re-run in 'Free, Fair, Credible' Election

IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati has declared the just-concluded repeat presidential election was credible, free, fair and credible.

The electoral commission is set to declare that Jubilee’s Uhuru Kenyatta has been re-elected as President, garnering 98 per cent of the valid votes cast in the fresh election held last week and which was boycotted by his main challenger, Nasa’s Raila Odinga.

The declaration process, which is ongoing, started a few minutes to 4 pm with Mr Chebukati reading the votes that each candidate got in each of the 47 counties.

The declaration is made without results from 25 constituencies in Nyanza that failed to vote on Thursday due to disruptions of polling.

Mr Chebukati said that the conditions that had been set for the repeat poll were met and that the fresh election credible, free and fair.

He described as the “most difficult and legally unchartered waters” the fact that Kenya, first in Africa and the Commonwealth, and only the fourth in the world, had its presidential election annulled and a repeat poll done.
