Odinga Accepts Kenya Supreme Court Verdict on Ruto's Win

Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga' says he has accepted the Supreme Court verdict upholding the election of William Ruto as the 5th president of the Republic of Kenya but vowed to continue with the struggle "for accountability".

In a statement soon after the verdict that dismissed his petition to overturn Ruto's election, Odinga said: "We respect the opinion of the court although we vehemently disagree with their decision."

Odinga, who was trying to be president for the fifth time, said he found it "incredible that the judges found against us on all the nine grounds".

Azimio La Umoja - One Kenya running mate Martha Karua says she will respect the Supreme Court decision.
