Defeated Kenyan presidential candidate files appeal 

The defeated Kenyan presidential candidate, Raila Odinga, has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court accusing the electoral authorities of manipulating the results of the recent presidential election.  Uhuru Kenyatta beat Odinga by 50.07% to 43.28% in the election's first round on 4th March.   Odinga's supporters were dispersed by police after gathering outside the Supreme Court, wearing t-shirts with the words "I support the petition" and "Democracy on trial". Speaking to reporters Odinga said:  "I have no hesitation whatsoever in lawfully challenging the election outcome,"  "These failures dwarf anything Kenyans have ever witnessed in any previous election."
