President Kenyatta drags opposition leader to court on contempt charges

The ruling Jubilee Party in Kenya has filed contempt of court case against Nasa leader Raila Odinga and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka on their no elections call  at the Supreme Court in Nairobi.

Jubilee`s Secretary-General, Raphael Tuju said after the apex court ordered fresh presidential election within 60 days after it annulled President Kenyatta's August 8 win, Mr Odinga and Mr Musyoka had been in contempt. 

However despite the order, Mr Odinga wrote a letter of withdrawal from the race, but failed to sign the requisite form.

Mr Tuju said, Nasa leaders and supporters had obstructed the training of election officials in Mr Odinga's Nyanza strongholds.
