KENYAN opposition leader Raila Odinga vowed yesterday that his party will become a “resistance movement” as he urged supporters to boycott today’s presidential election rerun.

Mr Odinga made his comments after Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati said the repeat of last month’s annulled election would go ahead — even though he had admitted last week that he could not guarantee its integrity.

Earlier in the day, the Supreme Court failed to grant a petition by Mr Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) seeking to have the election postponed, as the necessary quorum of judges was not present.
