Kenya’s defeated presidential candidate Raila Odinga has filed an online petition to the country’s top court.
He’s challenging the result of the August 9 election that handed victory to his rival William Ruto.
Since 2002, every presidential election in Kenya has triggered a dispute, with this year’s outcome also causing a rift within the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) that oversaw the poll.
Odinga also approached the Supreme Court in August 2017, when President Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the winner of the presidential race.
