William Ruto wins Kenyan elections amid chaos

Deputy President William Ruto declared winner of Kenyan presidential elections, after announcement was temporarily disrupted by scuffles at tallying centre.

The Kenyan electoral authority has declared Deputy President William Ruto as winner of the presidential election after a very tight race. The much-awaited announcement had previously been thrown into disarray by chaos at the podium of the National Tally Centre. The IEBC seems to be divided on the election results.

Also, we return to the situation in Sierra Leone, where some semblance of normalcy is gradually returning to the country after the government lifted the curfew imposed following the cost-of-living protests which led to 25 deaths including five police officers, and a 12-year-old child..

Plus, in an unprecedented move, the Liberian government has imposed sanctions on three top officials - including President George Weah’s right hand man, the Chief of Office Staff, Nathaniel McGill.
