Kenya to Hold Rerun of Contested Presidential Election
------------------------------------------------------

Kenya is preparing to hold a rerun of its contested presidential
election next month, after the first election was nullified by Kenya's
Supreme Court. The court ruled there were flaws in the tallying process
for the August 8 election. At least 24 people were killed in
post-election protests. Incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta will now face
opposition leader Raila Odinga in a new election on October 17.
