(1 Sep 2017) Kenya's Supreme Court has nullified President Uhuru Kenyatta's election win last month and called for new elections within 60 days.
The six-judge bench ruled 4-2 in favour of the petition filed by opposition candidate Raila Odinga.
He claimed that the electronic voting results were hacked into and manipulated in favor of Kenyatta. The president had won a second term with 54 percent of the vote.
The court says the Aug. 8 election was not conducted in accordance with the constitution.
Odinga's lawyer had asked the court to invalidate Kenyatta's win, saying a scrutiny of the forms used to tally the votes had anomalies that affected nearly 5 million votes.
