President Uhuru Kenyatta, casts his vote, October 26, 2017. [Photo|PSCU]Kenya is on spot again, for the second time this year, in a political scene, following the fresh presidential election, conducted Thursday October 26.International media organisations have placed Kenya on a global measure, especially after Opposition boycotted the poll, resulting to low or no voter turnout in most parts of the country.President Uhuru Kenyatta, went ahead to participate in the election, alongside seven other presidential candidates, even after Opposition leader Raila Odinga asked his supporters to stay away from the polling stations, a call the heeded to.In a publication titled "Kenyan president says he is willing to negotiate after election boycott", the Guardian reported: "President Uhuru Kenyatta has raised the prospect of negotiations with his opponent as millions of Kenyans voted in a contentious election rerun marred by a widely observed boycott and sporadic violence."According to the newspaper, the rerun is the latest twist in a long and increasingly chaotic political saga, which has polarised the country, and looks unlikely to end soon."Voting was brisk in areas loyal to Kenyatta, though even here turnout appeared to be significantly lower than for the previous election in August. The opposition boycott is likely to tarnish the credibility of Kenyatta’s victory and the result will inevitably face further legal challenges, analysts say."
