Kenya’s Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is facing queries on its performance, even after implementing most of the directives from an earlier Supreme Court judgment that nullified the 2017 polls.

On Monday, the Commission declared Deputy President William Ruto as the president-elect. But his main challenger, Raila Odinga, has disputed the results, vowing to challenge them in court. Mr Odinga has until August 22 to sue.
