What next after Raila Odinga quit presidential vote?
[Al Jazeera] Kenya's electoral commission, the president and the opposition remain deadlocked on how to proceed with the presidential election rerun after opposition leader Raila Odinga withdrew from the race.The electoral body said it was reviewing Odinga's withdrawal from the race, while President Uhuru Kenyatta said the October 26 vote would proceed even if he remains the sole contender. Odinga said on Tuesday he would boycott the polls because opposition demands for electoral body reform have not been met. "All indications are that the election scheduled for October 26 will be worse than the previous one," Odinga told a press conference in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, on Tuesday.
