Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga has pulled out of October’s election re-run.
Mr Odinga said his withdrawal would give the Electoral Commission enough time to introduce reforms that will help deliver a more credible election.
The Supreme Court annulled the result of the original August 8, 2017 poll, which saw Uhuru Kenyatta declared winner, after finding irregularities.
But Mr Kenyatta says he is ready to proceed with the new vote as planned.
The country’s Electoral Commission said Mr Kenyatta had won the August vote by a margin of 1.4 million votes or 54 percent of the total votes, compared to Mr Odinga’s 44 percent.
