In this week’s UpFront, we speak to Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga about the annulled election. Will he present himself for the re-run? And could the recent Supreme Court ruling finally lead him to victory?

Responding to concerns that there would be increased violence and protests if he lost and then contested the fresh elections, Raila Odinga stated, “If I lose elections fairly, I will accept and tell my supporters we lost fairly.”

In this week’s Headliner, Kenyan opposition leader and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga discusses his presidential ambitions and the future of Kenya’s democracy.

And in the Arena, veteran Middle East correspondent for The Independent, Patrick Cockburn, and Mohammed Alaa Ghanem, a policy adviser to the Syrian American Council, debate whether six years into the war in Syria, it could be said that Syrian President Bashar al Assad has won the conflict. And also debate whether foreign backing of the rebels made the situation better or worse.
