Those words from Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta in November concluded an unusually drawn-out 2017 election season.

After the country's August polls in which Kenyatta was declared the winner over Raila Odinga,

the Supreme Court annulled the presidential election, citing irregularities in the transmission of election results.
最高法院以传送投票结果违规为由宣布结果无效。

So the court ordered the electoral commission or IEBC to hold a new poll within 60 days.

After continued demands for IEBC reforms, Odinga decided to withdraw from the October 26th re-run election, and urged his supporters to boycott the polls.

Kenyatta was announced the winner of the second election. Odinga argued that Kenyatta lacked legitimacy given the low voter turnout.

Two petitions filed in the Supreme Court challenged the decision, but this time the court upheld the election results.
