Quick Glance: After a bruising campaign, Kenya's Opposition Leader Rejects Election Results
- Raila Odinga declared his opponent, William Ruto, the victor of Kenya's tight presidential election "null and void," and demanded that it be overturned.
- The electoral commission's narrow victory in favor of his rival, William Ruto — 50.5 percent of votes against Mr. Odinga's 48.9 percent — was "a travesty and a blatant disregard of the constitution and the laws of Kenya," Mr. Odinga told supporters at a conference center in downtown Nairobi.
- Until Monday, Kenya's election was widely regarded as one of the most peaceful and well-organized in the country's history.
- Then his fans stormed the hall, completely destabilizing the event.
