DescriptionIn a historic ruling and a first in Africa, the Kenyan Supreme Court nullified on Friday the re-election of a sitting president, ordering a new vote to be held within 60 days after its stunning decision that balloting last month had been tainted by irregularities.

The Aug. 8 election was conducted peacefully and was largely praised by international observers. But David Maraga, the court’s chief justice, declared the result “invalid, null and void” after siding with the opposition, which had argued that the vote had been hacked and electronically manipulated to assure a victory for President Uhuru Kenyatta.
