Ralia Odinga, Kenyan Opposition Leader Swears in Self as ‘President’ Amid Tight Security
Ralia Odinga, Kenyan opposition leader, has sworn himself in as an alternative president at a ceremony that took place in Nairobi, the capital city of the East African country.
To prevent breakdown of law and order, Kenyan government tightened security around the city of Nairobi and shut down independent TV stations to prevent the even from being broadcast.
It would be recalled that on Monday, the Chairman of the Kenya Editors Guild, Linus Kaikai, said senior editors had been summoned by the authorities and warned not to cover the event or risk being shut down.
Odinga, 72, was delighted when President Uhuru Kenyatta second-term victory was annulled while he refused to take part in the election re-run, claiming the government planned to rig the vote.
