Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday said a re -run of August ’ s nullified presidential election would go ahead as planned on Oct . 26 after opposition leader Raila Odinga said he was withdrawing from the race .
“ We have no problem going back to elections .
“ We are sure we will get more votes than the last time, ” Kenyatta told a rally in the southern town of Voi , speaking in Kiswahili .
Kenya opposition leader , Odinga had announced his withdrawal from the presidential re -run elections scheduled for Oct . 26.
Odinga said at a news conference in Nairobi that he was boycotting the polls because his demands for electoral reform had not been met.
A re - run of the presidential vote was announced after Kenya ’ s Supreme Court nullified the result of the Aug . 8 election due to Odinga’ s complaint .
Odinga claimed that the computers of the electoral commission had been hacked to generate a victory for President Uhuru Kenyatta.
The initial results announced on Aug . 11, gave Kenyatta a second term with 54 per cent of the votes, followed by Odinga with 44. 7 per cent .
Since the annulment , Odinga and his National Super Alliance coalition ( NASA ) have been demanding the removal of top managers of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission ( IEBC) and a change of suppliers of polling materials and technology.
