It's Official: Kenyan President Wins Re-Election. But Will Opposition Concede?
The final results announced Friday gave Uhuru Kenyatta a clear win. Yet for days, challenger Raila Odinga has protested what he calls fraud, despite the election's blessing by international observers.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has won a second five-year term, the country's electoral commission announced Friday. The official results show Kenyatta achieving re-election comfortably, with a lead of more than 1.4 million votes over his principal challenger, Raila Odinga.
Yet it's not clear that Odinga will readily accept the outcome, which he has vehemently protested since for his candidate, saying that "a serious attempt to try to either doctor or alter the final results" had fraudulently swung the balance of the election.
