Kenya: Opposition leader's exit throws poll in doubt

NAIROBI, KENYA - OCTOBER 10: Kenya's opposition leader Raila Odinga makes a speech during a press conference in Nairobi, Kenya on October 10, 2017. “All indications are that the election scheduled for 26 October will be worse than the previous one,” said Raila Odinga, a former prime minister, referring to the Aug. 8 polls, which Kenya’s Supreme Court invalidated last month. At a press conference, he said the country’s Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission has no intention of making “any changes to its operations and personnel to ensure that the illegalities and irregularities” that led to the August polls being annulled do not happen again. “This being the case, it is our conviction that our withdrawal is in the best interest of the country and a win-win for everyone.” (Footage by Magdalena Mukami/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images)
