Kenya’s opposition leader calls for a ‘resistance movement’ to refuse re-run of election

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

Kenya could be heading for political chaos tonight after the Opposition leader called for a ‘resistance movement’ to refuse to vote just hours ahead of tomorrow’s re-run of the Presidential election. Earlier, its Supreme Court had said it couldn’t rule on a petition to delay the election process because not enough judges turned up. Human rights activists have claimed the incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta who won the annulled August election is using force to crush dissent.
