Kenya top court upholds Kenyatta's win in repeat vote

NAIROBI, Nov 20 (AP): Kenya's Supreme Court on Monday upheld President Uhuru 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 never before seen in Africa that has left dozens dead.

In a unanimous decision, 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.

Protests began in response to the court's decision, though an opposition call for calm appeared to have effect. Anger remained. "We will not respect (Kenyatta) even after the court verdict. That was not an election and we will continue opposing him," said one resident of the opposition stronghold of Kisumu city, Wycliffe Onyango.
