AT least two people have died in opposition protests in Kenya after the country’s Supreme Court upheld President Uhuru Kenyatta’s win in last month’s repeat election.

One protester was shot dead by anti-riot police in the Kibra area of the capital, Nairobi.

In western Kenya, another was

shot dead by anti-riot police who

were battling with protesters blocking

a road.

The Supreme Court yesterday endorsed Kenyatta’s re-election in a repeat vote that the opposition boycotted while saying electoral reforms had not been made.

The decision appeared to put an end to a months-long political drama that has left dozens dead.

The court dismissed challenges

by human rights activists and a politician who argued that last month’s election was not conducted according to the law.

The court in September nullified the August presidential election over irregularities and ordered a new vote held last month.

It was the first time a court in

Africa has overturned a presidential election.

Odinga is now asking for international intervention as violent protests continue, saying Kenya “was being pushed to the precipice”.

Nearly 100 people have died in

the political unrest, the majority opposition demonstrators shot by police during protests.
