Kenya opposition says it will challenge election in court

NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenya’s opposition will challenge the results of last week’s presidential election in Supreme Court and wage a campaign of civil disobedience, its leader announced Wednesday, saying they intend to expose a “computer-generated presidency.”

Odinga has claimed that the election results were hacked and rigged in favor of President Uhuru Kenyatta, who won a second term with 54 percent of the vote.

Odinga claims the hackers used the identity of Christopher Msando, an election official in charge of the electronic voting system who was tortured and killed shortly before the vote.

Kenya’s election commission has said there was a hacking attempt but it failed, and election observers have said they saw no signs of interference with the vote.
