Kenya’s repeat presidential election looked set to go ahead after a last-ditch bid to delay the highly contentious vote failed on Wednesday when the Supreme Court was unable to reach a quorum.
The dramatic hearing on the eve of Thursday’s poll had stoked opposition hopes of delaying the vote boycotted by their leader Raila Odinga.
With political tensions soaring ahead of the vote, even the country’s top election official has said he cannot guarantee a free, fair and credible election, prompting concerns at home and abroad about the risks of holding another flawed election.
