Green light kenya repeat election court collapses
It seems like you're referring to a significant event in Kenyan politics. Here's a summary:
The Supreme Court of Kenya collapsed the repeat presidential election on September 1, 2017, just hours before it was set to take place. The court ruled that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) had failed to conduct the August 8, 2017, election in a free and fair manner, as required by the Constitution.
The court's decision was a major blow to President Uhuru Kenyatta, who had been declared the winner of the initial election. The opposition leader, Raila Odinga, had challenged the results, citing widespread irregularities and rigging.
The Supreme Court's decision to annul the election was a historic moment in Kenyan politics, as it marked the first time a presidential election had been nullified by the court. The ruling sparked widespread celebrations among Odinga's supporters and raised hopes for a more transparent and democratic electoral process in Kenya.
However, the collapse of the repeat election also led to a constitutional crisis, as the IEBC and the government refused to accept the court's decision. The situation remained tense, with both sides engaging in a high-stakes game of political brinksmanship.
In the end, the repeat election was not held, and Kenya was plunged into a period of political uncertainty. The crisis was eventually resolved through a negotiated settlement, which saw Odinga withdraw from the election and Kenyatta being declared the winner of the annulled election.
The "green light" you mentioned is likely a reference to the Supreme Court's decision to annul the election, which was seen as a green light for Odinga's challenge to the results.
