The decision of the Kenya Supreme Court ordering a re-run of the country’s presidential election has generated worldwide reactions.
The Supreme Court nullified the result of the August 8 presidential election won by President Uhuru Kenyatta ahead of opposition leader Raila Odinga
In a ruling issued on Friday, September 1, the court said the electoral board committed “irregularities and illegalities” during last month’s vote, harming the integrity of the election.
The Nairobi-based court ordered another presidential election to be held within 60 days.

The decision of the courts raises questions on the value of observer missions which are costly and yet fail to speak truth to power #Kenya

#Kenya Supreme Court Ruling is a win for the Rule of Law. A win for the Independence of the Judiciary. A win for Democracy in general.

Once an African election guarantees their interests, the international community will stand on corpses and declare it free and fair. #Kenya.
