The DA welcomes today’s order by the Kenyan Supreme Court for a rerun of the country’s controversial presidential election.

The Court found that the “presidential election was not conducted in accordance with the constitution, rendering the declared results invalid null and void".

This was after Kenyan opposition leader, Raila Odinga, challenged the results which initially saw the re-election of incumbent President, Uhuru Kenyatta.

New elections have been ordered by the Court to happen within 60 days.

This is a landmark judgement and a victory for democracy throughout the continent.

The DA trusts that the new election will be a fair reflection of the will of the Kenyan people and that they will be free from violence.
