Kenya's Raila Odinga calls for new elections Kenya’s main opposition leader, Raila Odinga, says he wants new elections by August this year. This is because he still does not recognise Uhuru Kenyatta's Presidency describing it as illegitimate. Mr Odinga told BBC Hardtalk’s Zeinab Badawi that he aims at creating a "people’s convention" to deliberate on issues from regional assemblies but not appoint ministers.
