Kenya Supreme Court to rule on election result by 1400 GMT


NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's Supreme Court will rule no later than 5 p.m. (1400 GMT) on Saturday on whether to uphold the presidential election win of Uhuru Kenyatta or order a new vote, the chief justice said on his Twitter account.

"Compatriots: The Supreme Court will deliver its decision not later than 5 p.m. today Inshallah (God willing)," Chief Justice Willy Mutunga wrote. The verdict is being closely watched after a disputed vote in 2007 sparked weeks of tribal violence.
