5:04 am
i would well with all the elected leaders and only doesn't care so that i can find a country that leaves nobody behind a dingo ally. see, the pawn was not free and fair. many canyons who support him are disappointed. good one for verify them was verify them will be able to lo and the telephone number because i resolved that is not verifiable. is not a result. i think is next to me will be to head to the supreme court. he has 7 days to file his petition. cathy sawyer, all 0. nairobi. this is the 5th election, rollo. dingo has contested and lost. now many of his supporters say they won't accept william roto as they president were in the tacit has more from consumer where protests broke out as the result was announced. ah,

5:06 am
as well as tackling corruption and foreign debt. it was a tightly contested election and some parts of the country are tense, with the little commission split, and the results likely to be challenged in court. exactly what will happen next. here among our dig, a supporters remains unclear how much us al jazeera q soon. king william router faces major challenges as he prepares to take over the president, same among them rising inflation, unemployment, and record high levels of public debt. kenya's tourism sector was particularly hard hit by the pandemic. both were to end his defeated opponent or dingo promise to tackle widespread corruption. but critics say their roles in previous scandal he government's cas dash on. those pledges on top of that a prolonged drought has increased the risk of people going hungry. some of the poorest in kenya can only afford one meal a day. showing us now is abdi. so marta, he is a member of the african academy of sciences and
5:07 am
a professor at the university of minnesota. he joins us from minneapolis. abdi, thanks so much for being on the program canyons and now waiting to see whether a dingo will challenge the results in the supreme court. do you think he will? i'm pretty certain that hulu do so. and that will create a new crisis for the country where he has every right to do so in a democracy. what should we make of the 4 of the 7 members of the electoral commission refusing to endorse the results? is there some merit in their concerns? i think it to create an enormous crisis. in other words, it shows that there was a lack of confidence and trust among the members of the election commission here and. and so they slipped suggests that more than half of them are not satisfied with the way things have developed and had been counted. and, and so that's why the supreme court would come into this,
5:08 am
how that would be route is anybody's guess. but both sort of elected man and the got some who's contested due to being got, both of them said that they will abide by the rule of the law. so the supreme court has a crucial role to play. and the safety of the country depends on the few people who are in the court. there's 2 percentage points difference in the 2 candidates as we've been reporting so clearly can yet use polarized. that, coupled with the supreme court having 14 days to rule on any election challenge, what does the next 2 weeks look like for kenya? i think most kenyans sort of been before through total processes, some of the killings that took place in 2007 and then after so most people are never had it. i was in my room just a few weeks ago, and most people told me that that, that they are not interested in bottoms, but that they want to get to the bottom of the truth here. i think what this election suggests is not only does the countries displayed, i mean, was there
5:09 am
a has one in mind conference with the majority of the country. but also the protocol processing came. it has become a game between the lead on their leads and has very little to offer to the people. and that's where the race you talked about how you're not sure that things will escalate. but we've already seen some sort of escalation with these scuffles breaking out. well, you will see few of these things are the kind of made him that he saw in 2000. so will not be, in my opinion, or in my assessment or whatever they saw in kenya will not take place. the 2nd thing that people need to take notice is there are 2 communities got dominated politics and the presidential politics in canada is the man came in group and the referral group. and this whole election was hoped to change that by the president of the conclude mr. kenny at all comes from anton gimme a switching science or the other members of the larger can your community will become part of that process. but apparently
5:10 am
a lot of his community has left him behind. and that is where the sort of where, where of digger has made the biggest mistake in my mind. what are the implications for their wage and more broadly if this uncertainty about the results remains? i think the names are quite used to this kind of assistance. you over the last since basically 2000, then the election that took place in step that's almost over 20 years. there has been this uncertainty and the country and the people have come through over in that regard. what i must, people are not thinking about as the pressure of the international community. good to currently britain, the united states and others are putting on the elite but to calling on a dinner and room such that there may be a compromise that might be worked out with ordinary people without seeing this. and i'm pretty certain that the kind of mm hm. we saw earlier years when the take place here. well that is some good news. we appreciate your thoughts on the matter. abdi smarter a professor at the university of minnesota. thank you for your time. with pleasure

5:18 am
e u has put forward. as far as i can tell from the rest reporting it, ron has attached some additional conditions and demands that it wants to be that ad. if iran is not prepared to accept that you text, i imagine you s, we'll probably also have some changes that would like to say has iran has raised 3 separate issues, which the u. s. considers to be extraneous to text. first, iran, what sanctions lifted on the i r g c, are companies associated with the urgency. second, iran want some guarantees that even after president biden leaves the white house, the u. s. will continue to honor the agreement and 31 once the i e. investigation in to past nuclear activities to the end. and as i said, the u. s. considers each agrees to be extraneous to the agreement and is not
5:19 am
prepared to accept any of. so i think it's very much an america's interest to revive the j. c. p. away i think it's in your raj and krista as well, so i don't quite understand why i supreme leader hon. luke continues to procrastinate. whether it's just bargaining tactics, or whether he prefers to hang onto it ra, a iran enriched uranium, even if it costs to run tremendous loss of opportunity. in terms of oil revenues, the u. n. says it can support a visit by the international atomic energy agency, etc. ukraine's as apparition, nuclear power plant, if both russia and ukraine, a grain, moscow, and key, the cues each other of shelling the plant, which russia face control of bank in march. some foreign ladies have called for it to be returned to ukraine, while the u. n. has demanded nuclear inspect this be allowed to access it. in the past few days they've been,
