Kenya\u2019s electoral commission chairman has declared Deputy President William Ruto the winner of the close presidential election over five-time contender Raila Odinga, a triumph for the man who shook up politics by appealing to struggling Kenyans on economic terms and not on traditional ethnic ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, chaos emerged just before the declaration when the electoral commission\u2019s vice chair and three other commissioners told journalists they could not support the \u201copaque nature\u201d of the final phase. \u201cWe cannot take ownership of the result that is going to be announced,\u201d vice chair Juliana Cherera said. At the declaration venue, police surged to impose calm amid shouting.<\/p>\n

The sudden split in the commission came minutes after Odinga\u2019s chief agent said they could not verify the results and made allegations of \u201celectoral offenses\u201d without giving details or evidence. Odinga didn\u2019t come to the venue for the declaration.<\/p>\n

\n

Now Kenyans wait to see whether Odinga will again go to court to contest the results of Tuesday\u2019s peaceful election in a country crucial to regional stability. This is likely the final try for the 77-year-old longtime opposition figure backed this time by former rival and outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta, who fell out with his deputy, Ruto, years ago.<\/p>\n
