Kenyan politician Raila Odinga has said he will challenge the presidential election results in court, making it his fourth time in a row in which he has rejected the outcome of a presidential poll.

Mr Odinga spoke on Tuesday, a day after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) declared deputy President William Ruto as President-elect in a tight race in which Ruto scored 7,176,141 votes (50.49 percent of the vote cast) against Odinga’s 6,942,930 (48.8 percent). The difference between their votes was 233, 211 votes.
