Nairobi : The Kenyan government announced it is prepared to once again hold elections if the Supreme Court so decides, presidential spokesman Alfred Mutua affirmed Saturday.
“We would accept new elections but in line with the Constitution,” Mutua stated after former South African archbishop Desmond Tute stated that President Mwai Kibaki is ready for a coalition government if the opposition accepts his terms.
“There is a lot of hope,” sustained Tutu, who is heading an ecclesiastical mission that arrived in Kenya to try to put an end to the chaos threatening of the continent’s strongest economies.
The announcement of Kibaki’s win in the December 27 elections has stirred up a wave of violence resulting into nearly 350 people dead, and about 100,000 others displaced.
The opposition Orange Democratic Movement summoned rallies against the results of the elections, which it rated as fraudulent.
