Kenya edge final results due disputed election

You're referring to the disputed presidential election in Kenya in 2017!

On August 8, 2017, Kenyans went to the polls to elect their next president, with incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta seeking re-election against opposition leader Raila Odinga. However, the election was marred by allegations of irregularities, including hacking of the electoral commission's database and tampering with the voting system.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) declared Uhuru Kenyatta the winner, with 54.27% of the vote, while Raila Odinga received 44.94%. However, Odinga and his supporters disputed the results, citing widespread irregularities and demanding a fresh election.

The dispute led to widespread protests and violence, with at least 92 people killed and over 1,000 injured. The international community, including the African Union and the European Union, also expressed concerns about the election's credibility.

On September 1, 2017, the Supreme Court of Kenya annulled the election results, citing irregularities and illegalities. The court ordered a new election to be held within 60 days.

The fresh election was held on October 26, 2017, but it was boycotted by Raila Odinga, who cited concerns about the IEBC's ability to conduct a free and fair election. Uhuru Kenyatta won the election with 98% of the vote, but the turnout was low, with only about 39% of registered voters participating.

The disputed election and its aftermath had significant consequences for Kenya, including economic losses, social unrest, and a decline in investor confidence. The country has since implemented reforms to improve the electoral process, including the establishment of an independent electoral commission and the introduction of technology to enhance transparency and accountability.
