Trouble Looms In Kenya As Country Gets 2nd President by Opinionated: 4:54pm On Jan 30, 2018
The political strife in Kenya is far from over as opposition leader, Raila Odinga has declared himself as the “people’s president” and changed his Twitter bio to read include “President of the Republic of Kenya”.

He took his ‘Oath of Office’ at Uhuru Park with police observing closely. Meanwhile, the Kenyan government of President Uhuru Kenyatta enforced a TV blackout of the event with stations going off-air at the time of the ‘swearing in’ of Odinga.

The BBC reports that many of the stations however streamed the event live on the Internet.

President Kenyatta was officially re-elected with 98% of the vote on October 26, 2017 with just under 39% of voters turning-up to vote, Odinga had instructed his supporters to boycott the election.

Kenyatta also won the initial election held on August 8, 2017 but that result was annulled by Kenya’s Supreme Court which described it as “neither transparent nor verifiable”.

It is left to be seen what this new event will lead to.
